NF - need an appartment!! (GTA)


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Sorry to start another non-fishing thread but I'm really starting to get frustrated. My GF and I have been searching for an apartment for nearly FIVE MONTHS now without any success. The problem is that we have two dogs (a yorkie and a beagle) and NOBODY wants pets. We also have a 4-month-old daughter (Averie). I'm working full time as an assistant film editor and doing some side work to help save some extra cash. Ginny's studying psychology through correspondence to finish her undergrad, then starting her post grad @ U of T next year. We have a limited budget of around $900.00 a month just because we'd like to put some money away. Our dogs are currently living with our parents until we find somewhere new to live. We even had one place say the dogs were ok but they didn't want a baby living in the basement!!!

 

We'd like to rent part of a house, either the main floor of a tiny house or a basement apartment that allows access to the yard. If anyone knows of any available apartments please let me know!

 

We'd prefer the west side of the GTA because of family being near by, but are open to anything that would suit our needs.

 

Thanks for your time!

 

Cheers,

Ryan

Ryan, you'd be close enough for her to walk to U of T and not sure about their pet policy...but I've definitely watched people walk there LARGE dogs out of there. My daughter is at 280 Wellesley (corner of Wellesley and Parliment) and the two bedroom with large living room/dining room is $1050/month. Pretty sure the sign said vacancies when I was there last. They have three buildings, underground parking, pool etc and at least some grass (to walk the dog) around in the complex. I can get contact info if you are interested...when she comes back from skiing at Blue tonight.

Find an apt you like and can afford. Don't tell them about the dogs. They can't kick you out for having a pet. The only time they can do something is if they can prove that your pets interfere with other peoples reasonable enjoyment of their property. So if your dogs bark or you dont clean up after them, then they can do something.

 

14. A provision in a tenancy agreement prohibiting the presence of animals in or about the residential complex is void. 2006, c. 17, s. 14.
