People In Toronto List Other Half Of Bed Due To High Rent Prices

People In Toronto List Other Half Of Bed Due To High Rent Prices
Nov 20 2023 Share

Due to Toronto housing market reportedly skyrocketing in renting prices, people living in apartments have started to list the other half of their own bed for rent to maybe manage the payment. 

A Facebook marketplace post showed a listing offering to rent half a queen bed for almost $650 a month. 

This was also shared on TikTok by Toronto-based realtor Anya Ettinger, with the listing reading: ‘looking for an easy going female the share the master bedroom and the one Queen-sized bed.’

“I have been previously sharing the bedroom which only has one queen size with roommate I found on Facebook and it worked out perfectly well”, the listing reportedly read. Despite being deleted, the video racked up over 600,000 views. 

Moving away from the Canadian context, Maltese rent prices have also become notorious for their increases. 

During the first quarter of 2023, the property price index stood at 148.89, a rise of 6.6% when compared to the corresponding quarter of 2022. Maybe the Maltese should start taking a lead out of Ettinger’s book to survive the pricing locally.

In a club statement, Victoria Hotspurs FC announced that the match between them and Qala FC had to be abandoned after cigarette butts hit the linesman. 

Addressing an official video statement, Victoria Hotspurs club president Anton Tabone explained why the game was abandoned. A cigarette butt was reportedly thrown by a Hotspurs fan and hit a linesman. 

At that point, the game was halted, with the referee addressing the respective coaches and representatives on the benches to explain that if such an incident occurs again, the game will be cancelled. 

With few minutes left for the first half to end, the game continued. However, the referee did not return for the second half. Tabone condemned the act by the fan who threw the cigarette, but stated that the decision to end the game was exaggerated.

A turtle named Hope was successfully rescued after she washed up at Ramla Bay in Gozo with a net tightly entangled round its neck and flippers. 

The turtle was found by a family, who kept it calm with a towel soaked in sea-water and gave her the name. Nature Trust and Wildlife Rescue Team Malta thanked the family as well as the staff of Gozo Channel operations Limited. 

Due to an extremely long car queue and the turtle’s serious condition, the rescuers could not afford to wait for hours in traffic. Therefore, the Gozo channel ferry staff kindly agreed to help the volunteer carry the large heavy box onto the ferry and off again the other side. 

‘Hope has now been handed over to one of our volunteers in Malta to be taken to the vet. We couldn’t have done it without their help.’

Hope’s condition is very serious and weak, but the experts at the rescue team will be doing their absolute best to nurse her back to health. 

All the animals rescued by the team are protected species and it is illegal in Malta to keep them as pets.
