A realtor says that a recent Facebook Marketplace listing for a shared bedroom is yet another sign of how 'unhinged' Toronto's rental market has become. In screenshots of the listing, obtained by CTV News Toronto, the poster was looking to find a roommate to move in as of January. CTV News Toronto could not reach out to the poster for comment as the listing was subsequently removed off Facebook Marketplace.
'Looking for an easy going FEMALE to share the master bedroom and the ONE QUEEN SIZE BED,' the listing read. 'I have been previously sharing the bedroom which ONLY HAS ONE QUEEN SIZE with roommate I found on Facebook and it worked out perfectly well!' The listing also required $1,900 upfront for a rental deposit, which included first and last month's rent plus an additional $100 for the key fob. Just when you thought the Toronto rental market couldn't get any worse, it did. Someone is trying to rent out a space in their queen-sized bed in a downtown condo for $900/mo
