The video has gone viral, highlighting the severity of the housing crisis in Toronto.
Amid the issue of skyrocketing house rents in Toronto, a woman's unusual offer to rent out half of her bed left the internet in disbelief. Last month, a Toronto-based realtor Anya Ettinger highlighted a post on Facebook Marketplace that appeared to show someone offering to rent out half a bed for 900 Canadian dollars (Rs 54,790) a month.
''Looking for an easy-going female to share the master bedroom and the one Queen-sized bed. I have been previously sharing the bedroom which only has one queen size with a roommate I found on Facebook, and it worked out perfectly well," the now-deleted Facebook post reads.
The rental posting, titled ''Shared bedroom in a lake-facing downtown condo'', was listed for CA$900 a month. Expressing shock, Ms. Ettinger remarked, "Just when you thought the Toronto market couldn't get any worse, it did. This is so unhinged. Renting out a space in your bed for 900 [Canadian] dollars a month? No wonder so many people hate it here."
