Here are the cheapest rentals available in Toronto right now (PHOTOS)
As rent in Toronto reaches yet another record high, affordable housing has become even more elusive.
According to the latest National Rent Report from Rentals.ca and Bullpen Research & Consulting, the average rent in Toronto hit $2,694 in August, an annual increase of 24.2%.
The average one-bedroom costs $2,329 per month — an annual increase of 17.1% — while the average two-bedroom runs $3,266, up 24.3% from a year ago.
But, if you’re willing to share a kitchen, give up parking, or don’t mind being outside the downtown core, you can still find a place to live in the city for well under $2,000.
