Is there any relief ahead for Toronto's crowded rental market?
According to this openfile article, of 15,000 condo units hitting the market each year, one third are destined for the rental market. With 10000 new people entering the rental market each year, that falls 5000 units short.
This can make renting a nightmare if you've got any sort of a budget, but those who can afford to buy a rental property can take advantage of Toronto's low vacancy rates.

Market News
Greater Toronto Area (GTA) REALTORS® reported 6,418 sales through the TorontoMLS system in August 2012, representing a year-over-decline of almost 12.5 per cent compared to 7,330 sales reported in August 2011. The number of new listings reported in August was down by 5.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2011.
"Residential transactions were down in August compared to last year. Stricter mortgage lending guidelines, which came into effect in July, arguably played a role. In the City of Toronto, the additional impact of relatively higher home prices coupled with the upfront cost associated with the City's Land Transfer Tax led to a stronger annual decline in sales compared to the rest of the GTA," said Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Ann Hannah.
