Rent-free months and gift cards: How Toronto-area landlords are vying for tenants
TORONTO – Toronto landlords are trying to lure in tenants with rent-free months, complimentary Wi-Fi and $500 gift cards amid an unprecedented supply of condos and lower rents. Real-estate market experts say the fierce competition – which extends beyond the Greater Toronto Area – is giving renters more negotiating power, echoing trends last seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two months of free rent, free parking and gift cards for food delivery or public transit are among thousands of dollars' worth of perks and discounts advertised on Toronto rental listing websites and apps. While such incentives are ubiquitous in Toronto, landlords in other GTA cities and the Greater Hamilton Area are also locked in a tight contest that benefits renters. Michael Niezgoda, senior manager of market research and development at Urbanation, a Toronto-based real estate research firm, said a record 29,000 condominium units were completed in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area in 2024 and 40 per cent of that new supply has since entered the rental market. 'This has created a lot of competition between condo owners, they're very motivated to get tenants in to help pay their mortgage after closing on their new condos,' he said. There were 6,549 condo units available for lease in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area at the end of this year's first quarter – a 29 per cent increase from a year ago and 160 per cent higher than two years ago, last month's Urbanation report shows. The report also found that 63 per cent of buildings offered incentives to renters, more than double from a year ago. The vacancy rate for purpose-built rentals completed since 2000 in the Toronto and Hamilton areas was 3.5 per cent in the first quarter this year, the highest level since nearly four years ago. The report also found that condo rents are 10 per cent lower from their peak in 2023. Niezgoda said the second quarter might see a further drop, even though the majority of landlords are resistant to the idea. 'Looking at all this supply hitting the condo markets and (they) are thinking this could be a short-term market impact,' he said. 'To stay competitive in this short-term market, let's offer incentives instead of dropping rents.' Toronto Regional Real Estate Board's chief information officer Jason Mercer also said the record supply of condominium apartments is behind the surge in rental incentives. Mercer said he has seen similar trends during the financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave renters 'negotiating power on price.' 'You also just benefit from a lot of choice, so it's easier to find an apartment, for example, that perfectly meets your needs,' he said. The federal government has implemented a series of measures aimed at stabilizing Canada's population growth and addressing housing shortages, including a reduction in immigration levels and international student permits. But Mercer said demand for housing is still high and the number of lease transactions recorded by the board has increased because the population continues to grow and the GTA remains a top destination for newcomers. According to recent data from and Urbanation, the national average asking rent in April was down year-over-year for the seventh straight month, with Ontario recording the largest decline. Asking rents in the province fell 2.7 per cent to an average of $2,338. Zumper, a rental website operating in Canada and the United States, also found in April that rents for one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments in Toronto had declined 8.4 per cent and 10.6 per cent, respectively, compared to the same month the year before. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Zumper spokesperson Crystal Chen said many people were 'priced out' of the city when rents surged dramatically in 2023. But reduced demand and broader economic uncertainty mean apartments are now being rented for hundreds of dollars less than a year ago. 'All of this together, the new supply, the weaker demand drivers has resulted in a slower market,' Chen said, adding it's 'a great time for a Toronto renter to find an amenity rich apartment that may have previously been out of reach.' But experts say the current market dynamics favouring tenants may not last long. Urbanation president Shaun Hildebrand noted in the report that construction of purpose-built and condominium apartments has slowed down significantly this year, and that is an indicator that rental incentives might disappear.

Quebec businesses say U.S. tariff ruling ‘not a victory yet'
By Quebec business groups say a U.S. court decision striking down some of President Donald Trump's tariffs is a good sign, but that Canada now needs to focus on negotiations to address other tariffs on major exports. The U.S. trade court's Wednesday decision — which was temporarily halted by an appeal court Thursday afternoon as the administration appeals the ruling — found the president didn't have the authority to impose two sets of tariffs using emergency powers. That includes tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China that the administration said were imposed on the grounds that those countries weren't doing enough curb the movement of fentanyl, as well as so-called reciprocal tariffs on nearly every other country in the world that were related to trade deficits. The ruling does not apply to tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum, or vehicles, which were introduced using other powers. 'This ruling is good news, it shows that the tariffs that were imposed were not based on law, on how we do our economic relations between Canada and the U.S.,' said Julie White, the president and CEO of Manufacturiers & Exportateurs du Québec. 'But, it's not over, the American administration is going to appeal and we still have a lot of steps to do with the American administration on the renegotiation of the (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement).' While manufacturers who were affected by the tariffs can breathe a little easier, White said, there is still a climate of uncertainty around trade with the U.S., which has pushed Quebec businesses to put investments and other projects on hold. 'It's good news, but it's not a victory yet,' White said, adding that she wants to see the federal government — which has not yet appointed a negotiator — prepare for trade negotiations with the U.S. and that businesses need to continue looking for other markets, a process that will take time. Trump had already suspended the tariffs struck down by the Court of International Trade on Canadian goods that comply with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement. With tariffs remaining on steel and aluminum, as well as pre-existing tariffs on softwood lumber, Véronique Proulx, the president and CEO of the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec, said Wednesday's decision will have little immediate effect on her organization's members. 'It sends a positive signal, a positive signal that the president can't evoke emergency measures to put unjustified tariffs in place and that there are institutions in the United States that are impartial and who clearly see that, once again, these tariff decisions were not justified,' she said, 'But in concrete terms, for our businesses, this has little impact on their day-to-day operations.' Proulx said she hopes Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government recognize that the tariff war with the U.S. isn't over and that finding a solution needs to be a priority. Two lawsuits led to the ruling by the New York-based federal trade court. One was filed by a group of small businesses, including a wine importer, V.O.S. Selections, whose owner has said the tariffs are having a major impact and his company may not survive. The other was filed by a dozen states, led by Oregon, who argued the tariffs interfered with their ability to engage in procurement and government contracts. The core issue in the case was presidential power, said Raj Bhala, a professor at the University of Kansas School of Law who has written extensively on international trade law. The law used to impose the tariffs, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, allows the president to respond to an 'unusual and extraordinary threat' that's at least partially coming from outside the country, but the court found that fentanyl, trade deficits and illegal immigration weren't unusual and extraordinary, Bhala said in an interview. The court also found that the president exceeded his authority under that law to regulate imports. But Bhala, who thinks the case will likely end up at the Supreme Court, said the president may have some good arguments against the ruling, including those based on a theory that the courts don't have the right to impede his authority to deal with national security threats. 'I think one of the most foolish moves a foreign government could make is to say, 'ha, ha Trump is weakened, we don't have to worry about this, this is not a problem, it's going to go away, the U.S. courts will take care of it.' No, I would keep negotiating,' said Bhala, a dual Canadian and U.S. citizen. Even if the ruling is upheld on appeal, the president has other powers to levy tariffs and Congress may pass legislation specifically authorizing the struck-down tariffs, Bhala said, adding that protectionism has proven popular with American voters. 'Don't gloat over this seeming victory, it may not last,' he said.
