The average new lease in Toronto hit $2,752 at the end of 2022, marking a staggering turnaround for condo leases
The average new lease was $2,752 at the end of last year, according to a report from industry research firm Urbanation Inc. The marks a staggering turnaround for condo leases after Torontonians vacated the city in the first year of the pandemic and landlords slashed prices to attract tenants.
“The amount of people looking for a rental have grown exponentially,” said Shawn Zigelstein, broker with Royal LePage Your Community Realty, who completed more than a dozen rental leases in Toronto that had multiple bids last year.and workers who were required to return to the office a few days a week. New renters are also facing low supply because would-be homebuyers are staying put in their current homes, many of which are condos.
The Urbanation report shows that it has become increasingly difficult to rent a condo in Toronto for less than $2,000 per month, another sign of the city’s unaffordability problem. Only 1.4 per cent of condo leases were under that price in the last quarter of 2022. That is down 87 per cent over the past three years when 13.5 per cent of the condo leases in the fourth quarter of 2019 were less than $2,000 per month.Because of the high rental rates, Mr.
“Landlords are being extremely picky” he said, adding that some are looking for tenants who are “making extremely good money with good credit.”at their fastest pace on record. Studios increased the most at a clip of 24 per cent year over year to $2,156 per month. One-bedroom units rose 20.6 per cent over the same period to $2,415 per month. A two-bedroom climbed 13.4 per cent to $3,028.
But the competition for rentals may ease this year, as a record number of new condo units are expected to be completed. As well, a number of new rental-only apartment units are on track to be completed this year.
