As Toronto renters continue to grapple with sky-high housing prices, some landlords continue to push the boundaries of what constitutes a livable space, and a recent downtown listing is up there with some of the weirdest listings we've ever seen. This latest "horror rental," shared to the Slumlords Canada subreddit, is raising eyebrows after showcasing a seemingly decent room for rent near Spadina and Dundas, but with one alarming twist you can't quite overlook. While the bedroom appears to be spacious and reasonably clean at first, a closer look at the "window" above the bed frame reveals it's not a window at all.
