Question · Centretown, Ottawa · 6h
Is $2,100 fair for a 1-bedroom in Centretown?
$2,100/mo
Looking at a 1-bed near Bank St, in-unit laundry, no parking. Feels a bit high for the size. What are people actually paying around here right now?

Always ask what utilities are actually included
Signed a place that said utilities included, turned out that meant water only. Hydro added about $90 a month I wasn't expecting. Get it in writing before you sign.

Renewal came in $175 higher than last year. Unit isn't rent controlled (built after 2018). Trying to figure out if I should push back or just look elsewhere.

What should I ask before signing a lease in Vancouver?
First time renting on my own out here. What are the things you wish someone told you before you signed? Trying to avoid the obvious mistakes.

Review · Hintonburg, Ottawa · 3d
Building review: great location, slow maintenance
Love being walking distance to everything in Hintonburg. Downside is maintenance requests take a while. Reported a leaky tap and it took almost two weeks. Otherwise happy here.

Tip: check the LTB rent increase guideline before you renew
For rent-controlled units in Ontario there's a yearly guideline cap. If your increase is above it and your unit is covered, that's worth questioning. Saved me a chunk this year.
