That’s good to know, thank you. The monthly cost is not concerning - it’s the 4 months up front (>10k) and all the initial housing costs that’ll be harder to manage. It’s technically feasible for me to fork up 10k on May 15th for a June 1st lease, but will definitely make the next few months tight until a couple paydays come in.

The credit score issue is what concerned me. Luckily, I’ve had US credit since January, as I’ve been on an internship for 8 months in the US already.
Do you think that will be enough for a decent credit score? I’ve heard of paying companies to guarantee your lease - have you heard of these?

I've heard of the 4 months up front deal and am planning for it, it's so strange, I have not seen that anywhere in Canada.
I'm hoping to land somewhere in the 2.5-2.7k range for monthly rent, definitely don't need luxury, so that's reassuring to hear!

How could you tell /s
If you’ve ever lived in or heard of the Toronto housing market - it’s absolutely insanity in availability and pricing.
