$1100-$1200?!...that's too rich for my blood. i'm not made of money you know. hehehe.

xray

^You'll never find a place lower than that. Maybe a bachelor apt. on Hooker St. next to the train tracks.

If you want you can pick up a nice townhouse in mississauga near winston churchill area for around 1200-1500 + ut's

Shazza

of course you can! there are tonnes of places under $1100. not condos, but basement apts for sure. we're not looking for anything fancy...just somewhere clean.

RDub

you can easily find a basement place for like $6-800

xray

Well, if you do find a basement apt within your price range, word of advice is make sure there are no kids living there under 10. My ex had a place with 2 kids (3 and 6) and all day they run from one side of the house to another. It was like the damn stampeding elephants, from morning to night.

xray

Shazza

update:

leaning definitely towards Condo now... we'd still like to stick to our budget 1000-1200... one bed room + den preferably, but willing to go into one bed room if the place is really nice (and the amenities are sick)... haven't heard anything back from the broker yet is this a "bad time" to look for a place to rent?

szuberi

there is a big diff b/w a condo and a basement ed.

1000 to 1200 for a 1+den in downtown mississagua may be tough to find...unless you wanna go to an old and sort of not so nice building.

Gallagher

you can rent houses in my area for $1000 including utilities

SiR_YO

ya, from what I've seen so far I know it's tough, but not impossible... if we were looking at a basement apartment we wouldn't want to pay more than $900/month... either way, that's not an option anymore

szuberi

are you looking for parking too?

fingolfin

make sure the condo fees are included in the rent!

SiR_YO

we would require 2 parking spots total, so yes

SiR_YO

I would've thought that most places include that in their price no? only things that may not be would be util, or cable/internet and stuff like that...

Shazza

the owner of the condo i.e. the landlord pays the condo fees...not the tenants.

be sure to check that out, dont wan't to find out when it's to late

Shazza

we're trying to focus on the west end of sauga...not downtown, but we may have to resort to downtown sauga...ugh. such a pain. all i know is i better not spend more than 15 mins driving to work.
