About us & ideal tenant: • Landlords are 2 young professionals from Toronto.

We’re non-smokers, pet-free, and responsive landlords. • ✅ Looking for a clean & responsible non-smoker with a preference for long-term. LGBTQ+ friendly, anyone is welcome to inquire. PLEASE NOTE: • ❗️Since this is an apartment within our home, the unit shares some air circulation with the rest of the house. Due to the nature of shared air between the two units, we cannot accommodate cats or dogs due to allergies. Smoking/vaping of any kind is not allowed on the property. • ❗️While it is a great space for an individual or the right couple, it is unsuitable for a family or multiple people to share. • ❗️Residential only, no in-person client-facing businesses operating within the unit.
