searching furnished basement apartment to rent in Toronto?

Question

we're moving to Toronto and we decided that we'll be living in a basement (coz it's cheaper) although our concern is that we dont know where to start searching for a basement apartment (furnished) to rent, is it possible to find a 2 bedroom basement (1 couple and two girls) for up to US$1.600 (utilities included) in Toronto?

I had to post my question again coz i didnt get any answer in renting and real estate category :(

Answer 1

there are a lot of listings on viewit.ca

in your price range you should be able to find an above ground place! it's easier to find a place once you've already moved here... i've had a lot of friends come from the UK, stay in a hostel for a week of two or go through couchsurfing.com until they find a place here



in Toronto and most of Canada it's not often you'll find furnished apatments, infact it's pretty rare...

Answer 2

Renting furnished apartments is a greater headache for the landlord than renting unfurnished as their is more exposure for damage and repairs. People have a habit of taking better care of their own belongings than the landlords. You would probably only be able to get a couple of hundred dollars more per month for a furnished unit .

Answer 3

The standard in Richmond Hill is much higher then in downtown toronto. Its much safer and cleaner. Our library is 5 stories tall and has over 2000 DVDs for free. Thats a really high rent you quoted your probably ok to get a condo for yourself at that price.
