The Case for Basement Income

Vacancies across Canada fell to 1.5% in 2023, the lowest since records began — meaning there are almost no spare rental units.

Asking rents for one- and two-bedroom units in Canada rose ~10.5% from last year; Ontario remains one of the most expensive provinces for renters.

In Ontario, over 1.7 million households are renters — a number that’s been increasing steadily. Many are competing for the same few homes
For homeowners this means there is a massive opportunity to generate steady income while providing much-needed housing for your community.
See the market for yourself—rental listings, vacancy rates, and trends—so your basement becomes a smart, income-generating space that also helps your community.
