The Question
Public Question Asked by Tony T. about Toronto
Can you recommend an apartment for rent in Toronto?
I will move to Toronto in a few months and I am looking for a furnished apartment to rent. I'm looking for something that doesn't go beyond $1,200 a month. I originally wanted it to be in The Annex or St. Lawernce Market areas but every property that I saw on the internet were so expensive. Do you think i should wait until i get there and hook up with rental agencies to get the best deals? Or is there a website that you can recommend that i visit? Please help. I'd really appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Furnished basement appartments in Toronto and Surrounding areas (also known as GTA), go for $ 700-800 per month, they have basic minimum furniture, all bills (utilities, cable, internet) inclusive, including at-least 1 parking. Majority of them have washer dryers included. This is the norm in Toronto. However, they'd require 1 year's comittment. Surrounding areas of Toronto are Brampton, Mississauga, North York, Scarborough, and Vaughan (within 1 hour's drive at the most in rush hour).
When I first moved to Toronto, I took a 3 month, unfurnished stacked town house for rent, coat me $ 900, nothing included, from http://torontorentals.com
When my brother moved here, he got his place from http://myhood.ca and if you still want to go with rental agencies, contact them before embarking on the journey, why pay $ 2-300 extra for 2-3 days of motel, no point.
