Check out this downtown Toronto lake-facing condo up for rent for $900/month. While it might seem like a sweet deal, the only caveat is that you’ll have to share the queen-size bed with another tenant.
The listing on Facebook Marketplace reads, “Looking for an easy-going female to share the master bedroom and the one queen size bed.
“I have been previously sharing the bedroom with a roommate I found on Facebook, and it worked out perfectly well.”
According to the listing, utilities are included, as well as amenities such as a swimming pool, hot tub, gym, yoga sessions, a playroom, and visitor daytime parking.
