Em Dial filled out application after application during her recent search for a rental home.
“Even super qualified applicants are having a hard time, because you have other super qualified applicants going head-to-head with you,” Cowans said. Looking at Toronto properties listed on rentals.ca in April, the site found the average price of a one-bedroom was $2,065 — up 12.96 per cent from the same month last year.
Dial, who was leaving her last rental due to a breakup, zeroed in on Junction Triangle, which was close enough to downtown, but also had bus access to her work in Downsview Park. Eventually, she caught a break with a one-bedroom basement space within her budget. The landlord seemed kind, Dial said, and they seemed interested in turning over the unit quickly, so there weren’t many showings.
They can pitch a tent in the park...oh no that's illegal. Shelter? Nope they're all full.
geordiedent This is awful discourse. “Super qualified applicants”. Everyone deserves a home. Imagine expecting a person with a broken arm to pass a test so they can go to the emergency department.
I offered my landlord $200 extra on top of the monthly rent that they were asking.
super qualified applicants... grotesque
Public housing.
“ super qualified applicants' We aren't talking medical school here, we are talking about finding a place to live!
As the city get more and more populated and inflation keeps moving forward, it brings new standards. For anyone in an apt for the past 5 years, that apt has almost doubled the priced and there is no protection of you going homeless.
Have fun overpaying for that shoes box in Liberty village. 🤦🏾♂️
It's hard too for even the super duper qualified applicants
