Yeah. Ideally we'll end up at 50/50 so $800 a piece but she recently lost her 9-5 job and is doing freelance graphic design and she's definitely getting by but until she's more comfortable or has more long term clients locked in I'll probably cover $1200 or so of it.
The f***ed up thing is he originally listed the place at $1,100 (I came in over asking to ensure I got it because that's what you have to do in Toronto now) and that was just over a year ago. He knows the market (he has several properties) but he just chooses not to destroy people financially.
Even if I wanted to move, I probably won't for a long time. The value considering the neighbourhood (Junction), rent and actual living space...I'll never replicate it.
