A sincere apology

This week I had an apartment (below) become available on short notice. It is generally believed that Christmas week is the worst week of the year to be marketing apartments as many tenants are celebrating holidays or taking advantage of school breaks to travel, and are unlikely to be interested in contemplating a move.

Accordingly I posted the availability on a couple of websites on Christmas Eve and proceeded to carry on with my own holiday plans, never imagining that the posting would attract almost 250 requests for showings. 

Part of the problem, of course, is that I pay little attention to "the market" when setting rents, and was astonished to discover that this was the most affordable self-contained apartment being offered in the entire GTA (all the way up to Newmarket and over to Oshawa).

Complicating matters, I have twice deleted the apartment from Kijiji, but Kijiji just won't let it go. 

I have tried to answer everyone's queries but I can't keep up and I have other responsibilities. Some of you poured out your hearts and I sincerely wish I had more apartments to offer. 

Several years ago I wrote a blog which provided advice for those who were apartment-hunting. I’ve updated it a few times over the years and feel that in today’s very competitive market it is more relevant today than it ever was. Perhaps you will find it helpful.

I thank everyone and wish you luck in your searches.
