With the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto still hovering over the $2,200 mark<\/a> this June, housing in the city continues to be too pricey for many folks to reasonably afford on their own.<\/p>\n

As a result, plenty of landlords have taken it upon themselves to advertise less-than-ideal accommodations at a fraction of this cost in an effort to appeal to prospective tenants who are strapped for cash, with, might we add, drawbacks that are impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n

One of the latest horror rentals in Toronto was listed on the apartment search engine, PadMapper<\/a>. The listing, based in Scarborough, advertises two rooms in a three-bedroom unit that also includes a shared living room, dining room, kitchen, and one washroom.<\/p>\n

Based on the listing’s photos, the bigger room is furnished with a bunk bed, while the smaller room has space to fit a twin bed and a desk. While WiFi is included, the landlord notes that tenants must share all utilities with two other residents, including 10 per cent on water, gas, and electricity.<\/p>\n

Despite its “perks,”\u00a0the listing notes that the rooms are suitable for one to three girls, and will be charged at a mind-boggling rate of $1,000 per month, meaning two tenants must split the cost ($500 each). If only one tenant rents out the room, the landlord requires a reduced (but still unfathomable) rent of $700.<\/p>\n

The listing was posted at a time when rents continue to stay sky-high in Toronto, despite some month-to-month and year-over-year declines. According to rentals.ca’s June 2026 Rent Report<\/a>, Toronto’s\u00a0average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in June is $2,212, representing a year-over-year decline of 3.9 per cent.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Scarborough, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in June is $1,868, representing a month-to-month drop of 1.4 per cent.<\/p>\n

This is hardly the first example of a Toronto bunk bed listing in recent years. In 2024, a landlord caught flak online<\/a> for advertising a crammed room with a bunk bed for $555 per month and calling it a “prestige accommodation.”<\/p>\n

In 2023, a listing advertised a shared bedroom with bunk beds for $750<\/a> per month, while another ad in 2022 listed one with two bunk beds in a windowless apartment for $1,200 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto still hovering over the $2,200 mark this June,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102778,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[19092,4152,19226,48],"class_list":["post-102777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-apartment","tag-for","tag-rent","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102777\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
