Why Furnished Rentals Beat Hotel Stays

October 13, 2023

Furnished rentals are an alternative to hotel stays when you are travelling for business or pleasure, but they also give so much more. Here are a few of the benefits that apartment-furnished rentals in Toronto have to offer.

With Furnished Rentals, you’ll have a full kitchen.

Part of the joy of travelling somewhere is checking out the local culinary scene, but if you are eating out for every meal during your trip it can get old (and expensive!). With your own kitchen, you will be able to cook whenever you wish and even host guests or business meetings within your own private space.

It’s so convenient to have your own kitchen so that you can whip up a quick breakfast in the morning before a day of sightseeing, or cook dinner for yourself with simple ingredients from the supermarket when you want to skip dining out and save money. The option to self-cater is also a huge life-saver if you have special dietary requirements that make it difficult to dine out.

You’ll have much more room.

Another delight of staying in a furnished apartment rental in Toronto that you just don’t get with a hotel room is the amount of space you will have. In a hotel room, you will usually just have a bed and perhaps a table, but in a furnished apartment you will have a living room, a separate bedroom and a kitchen. This means that if your travel partner wants to stay up and watch TV and you want to go to bed, you can do so without disturbing each other.

According to the Association of Serviced Apartment Providers, on average you will have 30% more space than the equivalent standard of a hotel. However, they figure that serviced apartment prices are typically 20% less than hotel rates of the same standard. So, you’ll be getting more space for a better rate.

You can do laundry.

If you are in a hotel you have to send your clothes away for cleaning, which will cost extra. In your furnished apartment, all you have to do is pop them in the washing machine, add some soap, press a button and Voila! This means that if you spill food on your shirt before an important business meeting, there’s nothing to stress about. Also, you can pack light even for a longer trip, making getting around so much easier.

You’ll have parking.

Parking in the city is a pain, but when you stay in furnished apartments you’ll be able to keep your car safe and sound in the building’s covered parking lot. This saves you a lot of hassle. Plus – you may not even need a car. Many of our furnished rentals in Toronto are so well located that you’ll be close to public transit and you’ll be only a short walk from anything you might need like shops, entertainment, restaurants and more.

When it comes to having a comfortable, homey place to stay, furnished rentals in Toronto beat a hotel room – hands down.

DelSuites Champions Global Mobility at the CERC Conference 2023

September 7, 2023

Are you a business looking to relocate employees? Are you an employee needing a comfortable and cost-effective housing solution for your next move? DelSuites is here to help.

We are proud to announce our participation in the 2023 Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC) Conference, which will be examining global mobility solutions that provide comfort and convenience for businesses and their personnel.

Global mobility refers to the process of relocating people from one location to another for work purposes. This includes both domestic relocations within Canada as well as international moves across borders.

The 2023 CERC Conference will explore how organizations can overcome the challenge of providing their employees with international housing solutions that meet both business and lifestyle needs.

We’ll examine how global mobility is essential for businesses today and how our DelSuites solutions provide cost-effective and comfortable relocation options for your personnel.

What is the CERC?

The Canadian Employee Relocation Council is a membership organization dedicated to providing leadership and assistance to members to effectively serve relocated workers and families, both domestically and internationally.

The organization has over 500 members from across Canada, the United States and beyond. CERC helps its members increase their expertise in workforce mobility by offering programs, publications and services and a forum for corporations and service organizations to communicate more efficiently.

This contributes greatly to Canada’s economy, with an estimated $2.5 billion yearly contribution! CERC also represents some of the top employers in Canada – including 828,000 people employed by 4 of the top 5 Canadian banks, 6 of the top 7 energy companies, and more.

As a result, CERC members have an asset value totalling over $6.1 trillion! With all this in mind, it’s no wonder why participating in the 2023 CERC Conference is so beneficial for those looking to take their career to new heights.

Introduction to the 2023 CERC Conference

As the global mobility industry evolves, CERC’s 2023 conference guides us towards a more proactive and strategic approach. The event aims to help organizations view global mobility as an essential tool for achieving business objectives rather than merely relocating employees worldwide on a cut-and-paste basis.

At the conference, industry experts, including DelSuites, will discuss how talent management, skills development, and diversity and inclusion can be successfully implemented into corporate strategies.

If you’re looking to stay ahead of the curve, the CERC conference is a one-stop shop for staying up to date on the latest industry trends and networking with peers from across North America and beyond.

Reasons for the Need to Advocate Change in Global Mobility

Navigating the complexities of global mobility can seem overwhelming. The 2023 CERC conference advocates for change to make it easier for organizations and their employees to relocate.

Most organizations report that the lack of available and affordable housing has at least a moderate impact on their domestic and international programs, with 50 percent reporting a significant impact on their programs.

Other difficulties include:

High costs associated with relocating personnel, such as travel expenses, shipping goods overseas, etc.
Complex legal regulations that vary from country to country
Difficulty in finding suitable housing in a new city or country
Language barriers and cultural differences that can be difficult to navigate

These challenges can potentially “stall” businesses from achieving their goals, making it difficult for them to relocate personnel across borders.

The Value of CERC Membership in Enhancing Relocation

As a member of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council, you can gain access to powerful tools and processes that will help your business leverage employee mobility in new and innovative ways.

Their vision works to be the voice of change for this industry, while their mission is focused on advancing global mobility through partnerships, research, education and government relations.

The benefits of being a CERC member are:

Government relations: Staying informed about current regulations and laws related to employee relocation in Canada.
Knowledge: Connecting with experts from all over the world who share their insights into best practices within employee relocation.
Education: Learning from the experiences of others in the industry through lectures, workshops and conferences.
Affinity programs such as TerningPoint: Offer protection for destination service providers with their truly international professional liability insurance program that is designed to meet unique needs.

With CERC, you can be sure that your business has access to the latest information related to employee relocation and benefits from a supportive network of experts who are passionate about refining these processes.

Moving Out at Your Own Pace with DelSuites

July 22, 2023

Moving out on your own for the first time can be a huge adventure: adjusting from a family home to being the boss of your own place means taking on a lot of skills, decisions, and changes—fast.

But it can be especially daunting for young adults who live with anxiety, learning disabilities, or chronic health issues, and already have a lot to handle.

For those of us who want that independence—but could stand to take it a little slower and ease into living away from home—DelSuites can be your place to get started. Our fully furnished condo suites give you just enough room to thrive—and just enough support to not have to learn it all at once.

Here’s how a stay with DelSuites can be a chance to take moving out at your own pace and set you up to truly spread your wings.

Your first independent home—with a little backup

DelSuites fully furnished rental condos are your starter course to condo living: a Toronto lifestyle that comes with a little backup.

All our units have full sets of comfortable, stylish furniture: which means no worrying about furniture shopping, supply chains, or whether your desk is delivered on time. They come fully stocked with all the kitchen tools you’ll need—pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and more. Our linens and towels service swaps in fresh new sheets regularly, and our regular cleaning service helps you get used to what an apartment needs to stay scrubbed and tidy.

If you’re living with limited time or limited daily physical energy, our suites come with ensuite laundry, dryer and dishwasher. It’s a chance to handle chores at your own pace, when it works for you, instead of sticking to laundromat or apartment laundry room hours.

And for guests with sensory processing difficulties, a DelSuites rental can give you the privacy and quiet you need to truly settle in.

The biggest convenience is that with a DelSuites rental, there’s only ever one bill to pay. All our suites come with high-speed wireless internet, US and Canadian long-distance calling, a full cable package, and all utilities included. Instead of sorting through installation dates and multiple payment periods on your first day living independently, there’s a chance to ease into that more complicated financial life—and do it with confidence.

Help is there when you need it

Staying in a DelSuites apartment means if there’s a problem, you’re not alone. You’re part of a neighbourhood.

Our Guest Services team is available 24/7 to help DelSuites guests with basic questions about our suites. In case there’s trouble with an appliance or your unit, you don’t need to reach out to a landlord or arrange repairs; our network of fully vetted, professional contractors will be on the case. And the concierge staff in our buildings is always on call to help you with questions about common areas, deliveries, and more.

We help you navigate any condo building rules about parking, pets, and guests, and our neighbourhood guides—highlight what’s interesting around your new building!—are a great way to get to know your new community.

Move in—or move on—at your own pace

The most important thing a DelSuites rental can bring you is the chance to adjust at your pace. If you’re ready to go, we can happily wish you well; if you need a little more time, we can easily adjust. And regardless of your plans, you’re never going to be facing worries about breaking a lease.

Our flexible bookings and cancellations policy means that you can use your DelSuites condo for six weeks or six months. All our stays have a 30-day minimum, but beyond that, we’ll work with you to find the check-out date that fits your life and needs.

Enjoy the nice parts of condo living

There’s support and a comfortable first apartment—but there’s also such thing as fun.

DelSuites rentals let you use all of your condo building’s amenities: from workout rooms and swimming pools to outdoor terraces, games rooms, and even juice bars. No matter how long you’re staying, you’re part of the neighbourhood—and you can go for a swim, host a games night, or find space to be yourself.

Setting Sights For Canada Relocation

May 2, 2023

Despite the long winters and icy temperatures, many workers from around the globe want to move to the land of maple syrup and poutine in order to work, live and raise their families in this peaceful, safe, democratic and welcoming environment.

Canada Relocation – A Safe and Pleasant Place to Live

It is thought that the increase in interest in Canada as a place to live comes as other more typical employee destinations experience unrest. When workers around the world turn on the television and see what is happening in the USA, it causes a lot of concern.

Also, Canada offers a lot of positive benefits – including health care and a safe environment. These attributes are luring workers to Canada from all over the world and are significant factors in Canada’s rise within the list of most desirable places to live.

Entering Canada Becoming Easier

Also, countries such as the USA, the UK and Australia are making it more difficult for people to enter and work. Canada is currently opening up and going in the opposite direction, which makes it more appealing for Canada relocation.

Some of the changes implemented include a reduction of the required duration for physical presence in Canada from 3 out of 5 years to 4 out of 6 years. Also, a portion of the time that has already been spent in Canada before achieving permanent resident status will now be allowed to count toward time for residency requirements.

Canada has also been designing systems that are designed to lure skilled workers from around the world, such as the Express Entry System and the new Global Skills Strategy. These new changes are part of a larger overhaul of the Canadian Citizenship Act. Canada aims to be more open to migration and to serve as a beacon for top global talent.

Are you relocating to Canada?

If are moving to Canada, we can help. Contact DelSuites today to learn about why our furnished apartments are the ideal place to stay during a relocation.

Furnished Short-Term Rentals: A Game-Changer for Employee Relocation

March 17, 2023

Employee Relocation, Short Term Rentals, DelSuites

Are you looking to move to a new area, or are you in the middle of a career change?

Moving to a new city can be fun and stressful at the same time. Finding a place to stay that feels like home while you get settled is one of the hardest things to do. Furnished condo rentals in Toronto are a great choice for people who want a solution that is comfortable, easy, and flexible with changes in their lives.

Here are 6 Ways Short-Term Condo Rentals Are A Game-Changer For Employee Relocation

Furnished And Feels Like Home

There are many reasons to stay in a furnished condo rental in Toronto. First of all, you’ll have all the comforts of home, like a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture, and a variety of amenities. This means you won’t have to worry about finding and buying furniture or other household items, which can be a time-consuming and expensive task.

Convenient, Stress-Free Living

One of the best things about furnished condo rentals in Toronto is that they are very convenient. Many of these rentals are in nice areas that are close to restaurants, public transportation, and other amenities. Even if you don’t have a car, this makes it easy to get around and see the city.

Can Be More Cost Effective Than Hotels

Toronto condo rentals that come with furniture are also a great deal for the money compared to some hotels, especially during the high season. They can be cheaper than hotels, especially if you plan to stay for a long time. This can make a big difference, especially if you are on a tight budget. In addition, a majority of hotels, do not have some of the comforts compared to an extended stay condo rental, like a full kitchen, a balcony to enjoy, and even a living room setup.

Locations Close To Everything You Need

There are a few things to keep in mind when looking for the right Toronto furnished condo rental. First, you should think about the location. Think about what you want to be close to, like public transportation, restaurants, shops, etc. Also, think about how big the condo is. If you’re travelling alone, a studio or one-bedroom condo may be perfect, but if you’re coming with family or friends, a larger condo may be better.

Flexible Length of Stay

The length of your stay is another important thing to think about. There are a lot of short-term and long-term condo rentals in Toronto that come with furniture. If you only plan to stay for a few weeks or months, you may be able to find a great deal on a short-term rental. But if you plan to stay for a long time, you may want to look for a longer-term rental.

Wonderful Amenities

Lastly, think about what you need in terms of amenities. Most of the condos for rent in Toronto that are already furnished have a full kitchen, comfortable furniture, and a place to do laundry on-site. But if you need certain things, like a gym or pool, make sure to check before you book that these things are available.

Relocate Somewhere Suited To You

In conclusion, furnished condo rentals in Toronto are a great option for people who are moving to a new city and want a comfortable, convenient, and affordable place to live. With so many options for location and features, you’ll be able to find a rental that fits all your needs. You’ll be able to make the most of your time in Toronto and feel right at home in no time if you rent the right place.

If you are an employee relocating for a job or transitioning into a new career in a new city, furnished short-term condo rentals in Toronto are a game changer.
