🏢 Condos/Apartments for rent off-campus UTM
Condos are one of the most common types of rental student housing near UTM. They are usually located in the city center and have a good location, security measures and room facilities, but the price is relatively higher. Apartments and condos are very similar, with convenient living and low maintenance required.

🏡 Houses/Townhouses/Entire places for rent off-campus UTM
This is another popular choice for student accommodation near UTM. You can share a house with classmates or friends, so the per capita rent could be lower than that of condos/apartments, and you can enjoy more private space and freedom. The houses are usually built a little far away from the city center and are especially suitable for people who like quietness and nature.

🛌 Rooms for rent off-campus UTM
If you are on a tight budget and looking for cheaper student accommodation, you can consider sharing an apartment, such as a 2-bedroom or 3-bedroom apartment for rent. This allows you to live in neighborhoods with a better living experience, which may not otherwise be affordable.

🚪 Basements for rent off-campus UTM (Not recommended)
Some landlords in Toronto rent out basements to get more payment. This makes tenants find relatively cheap basement rentals in expensive areas.

However, considering that the basement has no windows and lacks light, it is not only poorly ventilated but also very humid. We strongly do not recommend living there.
