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.

7 Signs It’s Time To Move To A New Area

January 30, 2023
Move To A New Area, Toronto, DelSuites

Moving to a new place can be a difficult task, but it can also be an exciting chance to start a new chapter in your life and explore new possibilities. 

When determining whether or not it is the right time to relocate to a new neighbourhood in Toronto, there are a variety of aspects to take into account. 

When moving to a new area, it’s quite the commitment to sign a one-year lease. That’s why DelSuites provides a 30-day, fully furnished rental option at multiple locations around the city, which is perfect for those who are interested in living in a new area.

Here are 7 Signs That It’s Time To Move To A New Area

1/ Your Neighbourhood Doesn’t Suit Your Lifestyle

Your current neighbourhood does not satisfy your requirements in the same way it used to. If you feel that your current neighbourhood is no longer meeting your needs, whether it be due to a lack of amenities, concerns about the area’s safety, or simply the feeling that you’ve outgrown the area, it may be time to start looking for a new place to call home.

2/ Your Daily Commute Is Too Long

Your daily commute to and from work is getting longer and affecting you negatively. If you find that your commute in and out of Toronto is becoming intolerable and the city is known for its congestion, you may want to think about relocating to a new neighbourhood that is either closer to your place of employment so you can walk, bike there, or that has access to improved public transportation options.

3/ You Want Something Different

You’re ready for something new and exciting to happen. Maybe you have lived in an area for too long. Sometimes, all it takes to bring new energy and excitement into your life is a simple change in routine. Moving to a new location provides an excellent opportunity to become exposed to new people and cultures, as well as to discover new neighbourhoods.

4/ Need More Space? Less Space?

Your current home is either too small or too large for you and/or your family’s needs. If the current size of your home no longer meets your needs in terms of space, it may be time to start looking for a new place that more closely matches your requirements in this regard.

5/ Place Is Getting Too Expensive

Perhaps your monthly payments on your rent went up, or maybe you had a change in job status. If you currently live in Toronto, which is notorious for its extremely high housing costs, and if you are finding that your monthly rent is becoming unaffordable, it may be time to start looking for a home in another location that is more reasonably priced.

6/ The Area Is Getting A Bit Too Crowded Or Disruptive

Your neighbourhood is getting to the point where it is either too noisy or too crowded. If you live in Toronto, which can be very busy, and find that your neighbourhood is becoming too loud or crowded, it may be time to start looking for a more peaceful and quiet area to call home.

7/ Looking For More Space To Expand Your Family

Perhaps you feel that the time is right to start a family. If you are planning for that family, then you should think about moving to a place with nice things like a child’s room, good schools, parks, and other similar places to grow into.

8/ Too Much Maintenance

Your current residence requires significant maintenance or remodelling work to be done. It is possible that it will be more cost-effective for you to begin looking for a new place that is already in good condition if the current home you own is in need of significant repairs. This could also mean that you need to live somewhere temporarily while you do renovations and need a clean, furnished condo rental in Toronto to live in for the time being.

Start Searching For A New Area To Live In Today

In conclusion, moving to a new place can be a hard choice, but it can also be a great chance to start a new chapter in your life and look into different options. If you notice any of these warning signs, it may be time to start looking for a new place to call home in the Toronto area. When looking for a new place to call home, it is critical to give thought to your needs, financial situation, and way of life. 

Before settling on a choice, it is a good idea to do some preliminary research, investigate a variety of neighbourhoods, and consider living in one of our DelSuites locations all around the Greater Toronto Area for an opportunity to try the lifestyle before you commit to something more long-term.

Relocating Employees – Common Mistakes Companies Make

November 1, 2022

If your company is looking to relocate employees for work, don’t make it too difficult for them. Relocating employees is a complex process and there are a lot of details that need to be taken care of. However, it’s essential that it is done right – because it can be quite a stressful experience for your employee if the move isn’t handled well.

Unfortunately, many companies drop the ball on this part of the contract, by not paying enough attention to supporting their employees during the move. Here are some mistakes that you should avoid so that you can help your employees make a seamless transition.

Common Mistakes When Relocating Employees

Not Communicating With The Employee

Do your best to keep the employee informed about everything that will happen during the move, including all of the details about where they will stay, how their belongings will be transported, and what paperwork they need to fill out when they arrive.  This will help to keep the employee in the loop and ensure that they are not confused when they arrive. Don’t assume that they will know what to expect!

Not Having a Clear Budget For Relocating Employees

Relocating an employee can be expensive, but it can be even more costly if you don’t have a clear picture of the costs. Having a budget is important, as it allows you to plan out how much you have to spend on each aspect of the relocation and accurately predict your expenses.

Remember, when making a budget it’s always a good idea to add on an extra 20% at the end, just to account for any surprises that might occur during the relocation process.

Not Helping Employees To Get Set up

There are a lot of things that your employee will need to set up when they arrive in their new location – destination orientations, school finder, settling services, legal services, temporary housing, bank account, phone number, internet, etc. Do your best to support them with this and help them to set it all up.

They will appreciate the help and it will assist them in making the transition go much more smoothly so that they can settle into their new home more easily.

Finding Unsuitable Accommodation For Employee Relocation

Another mistake that companies make when relocating employees is that they don’t put enough thought into choosing the accommodation where the employee will stay temporarily before they can move into their new home.

As a result, the employee ends up staying somewhere in an unsuitable location and without the necessary amenities.

Our apartments are a great option for employee relocation. These fully furnished apartments offer a spacious living area, bedroom, and kitchen – so that the employee can settle in and feel at home. Plus the convenient location means they won’t be far from work.

DelSuites Appears at CERC 2022 in St. John

August 30, 2022

September’s when all kinds of people head back to class—and this year, the DelSuites team is doing the same.

From September 11-13, 2022, we’ll be on the road to St. John, Newfoundland to attend CERC 2022: Canada’s premier conference for the employee relocation industry.

What is CERC?

Entering its 40th year, the Canadian Employee Relocation Council helps industries and organizations expertly navigate the employee relocation field. Offering research, information, education, and government advocacy, CERC helps employers meet the needs of today’s increasingly mobile workforce.

CERC has over 500 member organizations internationally: including top Canadian banks, energy companies, IT corporations, global management companies, and more. It serves its membership by helping companies effectively meet the needs of relocated employees and their families: addressing the network of issues that impact workforce mobility domestically and internationally.

In Canada, employee relocation is a $2.5 billion industry, directly employing 828,000 people across the country. DelSuites is proud to be an integral part of it, offering stable, comfortable employee relocation housing throughout Toronto and the GTA. As a 20-year veteran of the employee relocation industry, we know there’s always more to learn and ways to adapt to our changing world more intelligently.

CERC’s professional development seminars, research initiatives, and networking opportunities are a vital piece of our puzzle. They help the employee relocation industry run more smoothly—and get the right talent to the right place, trouble-free.

CERC 2022 in St. John

This year’s CERC conference in St. John, Newfoundland is focused on post-pandemic talent mobility strategies—and building a creative, transformational road map for how and where we work in the years to come.

This year’s CERC will offer industry white papers, a full conference program on the future and challenges of global mobility, and a trade show floor to network and collaborate on best practices. Roundtable events offer an opportunity to meet delegates from major Canadian employers from every sector—video game development to energy, banking, and government.

At DelSuites, we’re looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate, consult, and contribute our best to the challenge of employee relocation. Bringing new talent onto your team is a multifaceted challenge—one that combines culture, immigration systems, environmental sustainability, and international regulations—and we’re excited to build our knowledge to serve our guests better.

DelSuites: always improving our employee relocation solutions

Join us at this year’s CERC conference to meet our team and discover how DelSuites can be part of your staffing solutions. We’ll be there to explore, learn, connect, and collaborate—and bring the future of employee relocation and international work forward in Toronto.
