He pointed out that the rise in high-end housing rents is not only in Toronto, but also reflects the trend of the broader North American market, because the Trump administration’s policies, such as tax cuts and interest rate increases, will lead to inflation, and its impact may not be limited to the United States. it may spread to Canada, resulting in higher interest rates on both sides, higher mortgage costs, and high interest rates will have a negative impact on market affordability. This process may lead to an increase in demand for rental housing, as potential buyers choose to rent first.

According to her search for rent prices in Toronto, there are up to C $8000 a month for two-bedroom apartments in the downtown luxury apartment market, and there are more than 200 apartments renting more than $5000 a month.

The madness of property prices makes some people choose to rent a house. In addition, she also pointed out that another reason for the tight supply in the rental market is that Ontario’s lease laws tend to protect the rights and interests of tenants, so that homeowners do not dare to rent out their houses easily.
