Would you ever consider buying instead of renting in the next few years? Why or why not?

With how the Ontario market is right now, I’m wondering how people are thinking about renting vs buying.

  1. Are you planning to keep renting for flexibility?
  2. Trying to save for a down payment?
  3. Or have you decided buying doesn’t make sense at current prices/rates?

What factors are influencing your decision the most right now?

Sometimes the unit itself isn’t perfect, but the landlord makes the experience worth staying.

Have you ever renewed or stayed longer than expected because repairs were handled quickly, rent increases were reasonable or communication was easy and respectful

Curious how much a good landlord actually affects your decision to stay vs. move.

When you’re viewing a place, are there any signs that immediately make you feel more comfortable renting from that landlord?

Could be things like:

  • Clear communication
  • Organized paperwork
  • Transparency about costs and expectations
  • Willingness to answer questions without dodging

What gives you confidence that this will be a smooth rental experience?
