For Landlords · Fort York, CityPlace & Harbourfront

Leasing your Fort York condo: what it rents for, and how we lease it.

We have leased in Neptune, Neptune II and Aquarius at Waterpark City, 38 Dan Leckie Way, 19 Bathurst St, 9 Spadina Ave, 11 Brunel Court and 410 Queens Quay W, and closed 70 leases for landlords across Toronto since 2015. We price from the leases that closed in your building, screen every applicant ourselves, and charge one month's rent plus HST. We lease; we do not manage.

In Toronto C01, the MLS district that includes Fort York, CityPlace and Harbourfront along with a wider stretch of downtown west, 4,233 condos leased in the second quarter of 2026, at an average of $2,475 for a one-bedroom and $3,494 for a two-bedroom. Those are district averages, not Fort York averages: your unit will land above or below them depending on the building, the floor, parking and condition, which is why we price from the last few leases in your building. The full service, fee and process are on our Toronto condo leasing page; this page is about this pocket.

Across the GTA, average condo rents in that quarter were 1 to 4 per cent lower than a year earlier, so a price set from last year's lease will usually sit above the market. Two near-identical one-plus-den suites in the same Fort York building leased $300 apart in 2026; parking was the only difference.

How we price your unit

Three inputs: every lease in your building over the last few months, what is listed right now, and what your suite has that the comparables do not - parking, a locker, the floor, the exposure, furnished or not. Asking rents on realtor.ca are not achieved rents; completed leases, what tenants actually signed for, are only visible through the board, and that is what we price from. We show you both, with days on market for each comparable, so you can see what overpricing cost the owners who tried it. You get a recommended list price with a realistic range, in writing, usually the same business day. It is a recommendation and a range, not a promise; the final number is a decision we make together.

Preparing and marketing

  • Photos are booked while the unit is still clean and furnished. A furnished suite usually shows better than an empty one.
  • The listing goes on MLS, which feeds realtor.ca and the rental sites that pull from it, and we market it through multiple channels of our own, both direct and indirect.
  • Parking and locker are stated in the listing, so the unit stays on the radar for tenants who need them.
  • If your tenant is leaving, we aim to be live four to six weeks before the move-out date. December and January are the slow months; listing early lets us choose a tenant rather than settle for one.

Showings in Fort York buildings

Done only by licensed agents and brokers, with a member of our team present for every tenant who wants to see the property, and coordinated with your current tenant on at least 24 hours' written notice. Concierge sign-in, elevator and key rules differ from building to building in Fort York, and we handle them so showings happen when they are booked.

Screening, the lease and the fee

The same six checks on every applicant (application, matched ID, employment letter and pay stubs, a credit report we pull ourselves, income against rent, landlord references we call), the Ontario Standard Lease, first and last in trust until move-in, the condo corporation notice within 10 days, and a fee of one month's rent plus HST with no renewal fee and no property management.

Ontario rules that come up most in this pocket

  • For units first occupied before November 15, 2018, the rent increase guideline applies: 2.1% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027, once every 12 months, on 90 days' written notice on the Landlord and Tenant Board form. Units first occupied after that date are exempt. Check your building's first-occupancy date before you plan an increase.
  • A rent deposit of up to one month's rent is allowed, applied to the last month only. A refundable key or fob deposit is allowed, capped at the replacement cost. No damage deposits.
  • Ending a tenancy for your own use has its own rules, compensation and penalties. Ask before you plan around it.

Fort York landlord questions

What does my Fort York condo rent for?

In the second quarter of 2026, condos in Toronto C01, the MLS district that includes Fort York, CityPlace and Harbourfront, leased for an average of $1,934 (bachelor), $2,475 (one bedroom), $3,494 (two bedroom) and $4,446 (three bedroom), according to TRREB. Those are district averages; your building, floor, parking and condition move a unit above or below them, which is why we price from the last few leases in your building.

How long does it take to lease a condo in Fort York?

It depends on the suite type, the price and the time of year. One-bedroom units in buildings with steady lease activity usually lease within weeks when priced against the last few leases there; larger or unusual units take longer, and December and January are slower. The list price is the biggest factor you control.

Should I rent my Fort York condo furnished or unfurnished?

Unfurnished is the larger market and the longer tenancy. Furnished can earn a premium with shorter stays, corporate or relocating tenants, but it carries more turnover, more wear and an inventory to manage. We will tell you which the recent leases in your building support.

Can I lease while my tenant is still there?

Yes, with at least 24 hours' written notice to your tenant for each showing. A furnished, lived-in unit usually shows better than an empty one, and the gap between tenants is shorter.
