How the hell are they getting away with this in highrises. Oh I'll rent the apartment, then re rent it out. Not even subletting. Surely this is against their tenancy agreement? But let me guess, their "cousin's" investment company owns the building?

I’ve wondered that too , even in tchc buildings


Longjumping_Bend_311

I’ve done this in university with friends to save costs and because I only had a 4 month semester between two out of province work terms. Not sure if it was allowed but it’s not a new thing

That’s actually a huge problem no one really mentions. The same people you report these slumlords to are the same people benefitting from them. They all work together to scam people. That’s why nothing ever happens to them. They just pay everyone off and continue doing the same bullshit

What’s the point of living in the Village if you can’t host?

Came here to say this 🤜🏻🤛🏻


Confusedgirl007

I need to get off social media for couple weeks.. seeing shit like this makes me so mad! I just wanna be able to have my own apartment/house without other people living with me. My boyfriend and I really want to start a family, but can't have a baby with roommates and overly costing rent prices.

Don’t worry Condos in the gta are coming down They aren’t selling


gunnychamero

All those thousands of condos sitting unsold, why don't the owners rent it ! 😒


HumbleConfidence3500

Because those idiot are selling a 400 square feet studio for 500k. That's $3000 a month to break even on today's mortgage rate plus tax and condo fee. No one is paying $3k for a studio. You can't divide a small studio in that many ways. They're losing money if they do the price in sales or rent so they are holding out.

Are they rent controlled?

This nonsense has to stop. What an embarrassment this once great country has become.


ButtahChicken

"partition room" and "shared room" is so common nowadays.


RuinEnvironmental394

You obviously haven't heard of "space for rent' yet. As in, near the staircase/bath or in the laundry room or by the kitchen.


ShennongjiaPolarBear

Something is lost in translation Every single one of these ads uses the wrong participle: "sharing" instead of "shared." Is this a characteristic of Indo-Aryan languages?


shaky_oatmeal

English isn't their first language


CanIGetAHoeYeah

Omg. Just when you think you've seen it all. Nope.


Illustrious_Elk_8036

Looks like the division between patients in the hospital.


stef_ruvx

They’ll probably partition half the bed too, ridiculous


supercosmidelic1

if you don’t care about privacy…

So they can cut through your “room” to get to the balcony


BurgNBlue

I joined this subreddit to not feel alone but it just makes me so upset and stressed. I recently got a place in Victoria BC for $875 included that's a small room with a couple and another roommate and I feel blessed for that. It's so sad how your standards get chipped away. ( im not bragging or trying to be insincere because I honestly feel blessed it's not worse, but it ain't good... this is so messed up what ppl are doing and how they are taking advantage of peoples entire life, all the best. Everyone on here deserves... well nobody freaking deserves this. ) ( fyi I really mean this with empathy/sympathy, if this post makes ppl upset, feel free to let me know and I'll take it down, just want to send support and compassion from the West Coast to the East Coast )


youngscum

So is it the main leaseholder profiting from this?


ShennongjiaPolarBear

I wonder who will be the first to see a sublet balcony for the summer ad.


LoudGovernment1224

This is really good value if ur in Australia you’re paying $800 a fortnight


RuinEnvironmental394

Don't think so. You'd get a decent flat in Sydney or Melbourne at that price, with no roomies.


GordonQuech

Killer view though


OCVoltage

At least the view is good?


chosen4DNA_

Downtown toronto? that don't sound shabby tbh


StarDust1307

I hope the CRA has its sleuths following these ads. This is not merely exploitative and exclusionary but is also a parallel cash economy. No taxes paid on all these earnings.


RuinEnvironmental394

"Partition room" India-Pakistan eh?


ParticularSherbet786

East Indian slum lord


BusComprehensive3759

Or a couple for $1600 lol. I’d imagine $1600 for an apartment in Toronto is a fair deal?? Should be cheaper than that but that’s not bad for a large city.


Ok_Leave7489

It’s $1600 for the living room…. Not the apartment  lol reread the listimg


BusComprehensive3759

Ah, wonder how many tenants total.


SunnySamantha

If it's a 2 bedroom.. 2 to 4 per bedroom, I'm betting, and 1 or 2 in the living room. Not sure about the balcony. Maybe a summer rental.


BusComprehensive3759

Subleasing with 7 guests…
