You'd have to go through small claims court. Plus, there's that earlier comment about rent control. Some people's rent has gone up by $200 -500. Landlords are trying to recoup their losses since the pandemic.

Honestly I think you should go for the second one in Liberty village. As much as I bash the area, it's an established neighbourhood. It's also the largest unit. I think if you're creative enough you can utilize that fake den to hold your desk. If it was built before November 2018 it will also be rent controlled which gives you security. The last one was nice but is smaller and doesn't come with a locker or parking and the landlord will have the option to raise their rent by any amount after one year.
@vimalbhaya31102 жыл бұрын
@shevon salmon : If possible, don’t take any of these. The realtor should clearly explain the rent control doesn’t apply in apartments newer than 2018, meaning the owner can inflate the rent by ANY amount taking advantage of moving pain. $300-500 is easy so you’re better off with older properties, bonus that they are always larger. PSA ….

PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO RENT IN ONTARIO! Unit made AFTER November 15 2018 DO NOT fall under Rent control. Meaning your landlord can raise your rent to whatever they want once your lease is over. Yes you don't have to pay it however that means you'd need to find a new place to live after 1 year if you can't afford the increase! Rent control means your landlord is only able to raise your rent 2.5% every year! A lot of young people do not know this - happy hunting!

As a content creator who doesn't need to be in the core for work, it would make more sense renting a whole house in the suburbs for $2K/month. Or even a low-rise in the Beaches area. CBC did a expose on those downtown condos, especially on the Lakeshore, a lot of them are poorly built, poorly insulated, often leak, and the constant noise from AirBNB's. Sure, you don't drive. But Union quickly connects you to suburbs east and west of Toronto core.

Newer buildings aren't under rent control, smth to note when looking for a place. Would recommend looking for a place at least 5 years old otherwise they can easily up your rent next year (suggest familiarizing tenant rights for Toronto for specific details). The appeal is definitely there to get a newer place as there may be less damage on the unit but trade-off might not be worth it, especially if you aren't expecting/can't afford higher rent the next year and you want to stay with your current lease..
