Being a landlord in Toronto is not what it used to be. In this episode of the Toronto Real Estate Podcast, Ralph Fox sits down with Fox Marin’s Leasing Team pros Sean Bridge, Grace Collins & Sammy Marasco to unpack the real costs of carrying a rental in 2025, why overpricing creates silent vacancy, how rent control splits the market pre 2018 vs post 2018, and what actually works to find and keep quality tenants. We dig into LTB timelines, unenforceable lease clauses that spook good tenants, and a practical blueprint for due diligence that reduces risk.Whether you are a first-time landlord or you manage a growing portfolio, this conversation gives you a street-level read on Toronto’s rental market and a clear playbook for the next 6 to 12 months. Price right. Present beautifully. Vet like a pro. Keep great tenants.
