Apartments for Rent in Toronto

The median is used rather than the average: two unusual listings are enough to move an average, but not a median.

The City of Toronto publishes an official list of its neighborhoods. A revision changed it: fast-growing neighborhoods were split, and the names dropped then no longer stand for anything in the City's data. Listings use the names from the list in force.

The map on a listing shows a five-hundred-meter circle around the home, never an exact point: Quoloc does not publish the address, and only the person advertising can choose to give it in the exchange. A Street View tab shows the street where coverage exists.

A home rented in Toronto falls under Ontario. Landlord and Tenant Board (Ontario's housing tribunal, part of Tribunals Ontario) publishes the applicable rules, and the contract goes through the mandatory standard lease, published by the Government of Ontario as the Residential Tenancy Agreement (Standard Form of Lease). Forms are on tribunalsontario.ca/ltb.

One and the same detector runs over listings, messages, comments and profiles. It recognizes an email address, a phone number, a social media handle and a web address, including ones written to fool a machine: an address broken up with "(at)" and "(dot)" is caught, and so is a number spaced out digit by digit. The exchange therefore stays where reporting and blocking exist.

Exchanges happen in the site's messaging. You can write from the moment you register, without the other person having to allow anything: a published listing and a published profile are both contactable. Messages stay grouped and the history remains available.

Online since 2015, Quoloc covers 31 cities across 12 countries.

Every listing carries a public comment thread. A reply cannot itself receive a reply: the thread stays one level deep.

The list of apartments for rent filters on price, move-in date, minimum stay, furnished or not, smoking, pets and the type of property; with Quoloc Plus, also on the twenty-three amenities, the number of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, the floor, the elevator, parking and who is letting. Moving the map narrows the list to what is in view.

The City's official division has been revised, and a count resting on the old names would go stale on its own. The homes counted here are counted by address, on a date that is always given.
