finding a 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?

Answer 1

With a budget of $1,600 you should not have much of a problem finding a 2-bedroom apartment. I would not look for a furnished apartment though, because furnished units are either associated with short term/hotel type luxury apartments geared to the business travelers, or homeless/low income type tenants at the other end. You can always rent the furniture from a rent to own or similar furniture rental store for about $125-150 per month for a 2-bedroom place. I actually furnished my first rental apartment from a second hand store and it was cheap, but adequate. Try these websites:

Answer 2

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.
