What Toronto Landlords Look for in a 1-Bedroom Tenant
Most landlords apply an informal 35–40x income rule: for a $2,000/month unit, they expect roughly $70,000–$80,000 gross annually. Have pay stubs, an employment letter, and a previous landlord reference ready before you start searching — below-market 1-bedrooms move within 24–48 hours.
