Em Dial filled out application after application during her recent search for a rental home.
“Even super qualified applicants are having a hard time, because you have other super qualified applicants going head-to-head with you,” Cowans said. Looking at Toronto properties listed on rentals.ca in April, the site found the average price of a one-bedroom was $2,065 — up 12.96 per cent from the same month last year.
Dial, who was leaving her last rental due to a breakup, zeroed in on Junction Triangle, which was close enough to downtown, but also had bus access to her work in Downsview Park. Eventually, she caught a break with a one-bedroom basement space within her budget. The landlord seemed kind, Dial said, and they seemed interested in turning over the unit quickly, so there weren’t many showings.

I offered my landlord $200 extra on top of the monthly rent that they were asking.
super qualified applicants... grotesque

It's hard too for even the super duper qualified applicants
