Four Ways to Use Furnished Rentals—Without Leaving Town

June 14, 2022

How many things can you do with a furnished Toronto rental condo? It’s been a long time since furnished rentals were just for business travelers, even though we can often still think of them that way. But a temporary home built for long-term stays—30 nights or more—can bring a flexibility and freedom to your life, even if you already live in the same city.

Here’s four ways furnished rental apartments can get you where you want to go—right at home in Toronto.

Hold out for the right home—and save your money

A fully-furnished, serviced condominium doesn’t seem cheaper than a normal rental. But if you’re finding a place to call home in less-than-perfect conditions, it can be a way to save big money in the long run.

Whether it’s location, the condition of the space, rowdy neighbours, or a landlord whose problem-solving style doesn’t match yours, there are lots of reasons a lease can go bad—and be very expensive to break. From storage, reclaiming rent money, service installation fees, lost working time, and more, those abrupt and necessary moves are anything but cheap. And they have a terrible habit of adding up, since emergency expenses never show up one at a time.

If you’re not loving your housing market options, a stable and temporary home can save you both money and stress. A DelSuites furnished condo is a chance to really find the right long-term apartment, while turning crisis expenses into predictable ones. You’ll know exactly what you need to budget, and be able to keep the stress spending under control.

Or, if you’re contemplating putting money on a down payment, it’s a way to know that if construction or closing is delayed, you won’t be left scrambling. You can pick out the home you really want—and keep your life on plan and on budget, whatever comes your way.

Be closer to family when they need you

Toronto’s increasingly a city of dense, compact condominium neighbourhoods—and when our loved ones need us nearby, it’s not always easy to fit everyone into an open-concept home. It’s always easier to have help—but it’s no fun to choose between help and getting on each other’s nerves with the very predictable, very different ways adults live our lives.

If your family’s welcoming a new baby, dealing with a challenging illness, grieving a loss, or preparing for any major life change, a furnished rental can be a way to stay the right kind of close by. A furnished rental in the neighbourhood can keep loved ones on hand for emergencies or care, without turning it into a question of how to share space 24/7.

It’s a solution to getting and giving real family support that works—and that everyone can feel good about afterwards.

Study at your own pace

Everyone knows when student move-ins happen: June and September, when lots of apartments in university and college neighbourhoods go up for grabs. But many colleges and grad programs offer January or July starts—especially for professional, condensed programs—and if you’re starting one, a home you love can be harder to find.

As schools go back to on-campus classes, a fully-furnished rental condo can be the key to starting the program you want, when you want. Whether it’s to fill the gap for a few months, until more long-term spaces open, or for the whole semester—you don’t have to wait to start your education.

DelSuites Toronto rentals also let you finish your degree or college program when you want. If you’re taking your last classes in the summer semesters, we can bridge the summer housing gap—without figuring out shared sublets or signing long-term leases you’re not sure you’ll use. You can get to your future sooner, and stay comfortably while you do it.

Take a job contract without the commute

Nothing spoils a dream job offer like a two-hour commute. If you’ve got a job contract on your desk—but don’t want to uproot your whole life—a furnished DelSuites rental can be your temporary teleporter.

It’s a little more freedom to make big, bold career moves—without being limited by location. And it’s a chance to shake up your career without having made huge life commitments in case the job isn’t for you.

You can save your commuting time and still get comfortable in a space that fits your habits and lifestyle. With high-speed internet and cable included in your monthly rate, full ensuite laundry and kitchen, and biweekly cleaning to help out, you can move your hobbies and habits over without breaking a sweat.

Wherever you’re going in life, the right home in the right place and time can be a real help it getting there. Call us at 647-370-3504 or email info@delsuites.com to find out how we can take your Toronto life one step farther.

DelSuites Partners with AGTA Home Health Care to Take Accessible Travel Farther

May 4, 2022

DelSuites has always been proud to offer a comfortable, private space to call home while recovering from important medical procedures. Because our properties are located near the specialized care units at major Toronto hospitals, we know how medical stays impact every aspect of a family’s life—and we work hard to make that challenge a little warmer, more comfortable, and more livable.

Now you can unlock a 7% discount on the medical supplies you need to make a post-hospital stay easier—and bring a new level of support to the hard work of healing.

DelSuites has partnered with AGTA Home Health Care to add peace of mind, dignity, and professional support for the people who come through our doors to recover. With 22 years’ experience supporting aging, injured, and physically challenged clients—or anyone who just needs a little extra support around the house—AGTA brings proven care and accessibility to the privacy and comfort of a DelSuites furnished rental in Toronto.

Whether you’re coming to Toronto for an important medical stay or planning everyday travel while living with a few extra needs, DelSuites and AGTA let you enjoy Toronto worry-free, in a warm, luxurious space you can happily call home.

Bringing health care to you on your medical stays

AGTA Home Health Care brings the DelSuites ethic of hospitality to health care: letting people stay—or heal—at home, whether home is permanent or temporary.

AGTA’s founder, Vince Agovino, has been caring for people since 1995. His experience of the formidable challenges friends and families face when organizing home care for their loved ones spurred him to found AGTA Home Health Care.

AGTA understands how all the puzzle pieces—personal support, medical expertise, and the right supplies—come together to make the difference between navigating your space and enjoying it. They bring together everything you need to make a positive recovery or live in a truly accessible space.

AGTA’s one-stop, accessible website lets you buy or affordably rent medical supplies and assistive devices for as long as you need the support. With everything from cast protectors for easy showering, easy-grip kitchen knives, wheelchairs, crutches, and ramps, they will ensure you have everything needed, prior to your arrival.

AGTA also works seamlessly with funders like WSIB, ODSP, and the Ontario Assistive Devices Program to help conveniently improve your quality of life.

On the human side, AGTA offers full, 24-hour home health care visits. AGTA’s compassionate, professional staff of personal support workers and in-home nurses are pre-qualified with Toronto’s Home and Community Care Support Services—so you know your care is top-notch. AGTA seamlessly coordinates care with your medical team so you can recover in comfort and privacy—and family members can focus on being there.

A seamless way to plan an accessible stay

Our partnership with AGTA doesn’t just open doors for those recovering from medical procedures. Travelers living with disabilities or chronic health issues frequently work a little harder to get the comfortable, luxurious travel experience everyone expects. AGTA and DelSuites let you consider that work handled.

The open, accessible layouts of DelSuites units are built for everyday living. With full kitchen and laundry facilities, accessible indoor parking, and wide, spacious doors and bathtubs, we’ve got the basics of an accessible stay. But with AGTA, travelers can affordably rent the small modifications that take those basics to a full-fledged accessible solution: bath steps, tub rails, back support, and more.

It’s a way to focus on what you’re in Toronto to do, see, taste, and enjoy, instead of working hard to source the tools you’ll need to overcome barriers. And if you need personal support workers—some days or every day—it’s a way to open Toronto up to you as a warm, welcoming, fun travel destination.

With DelSuites, the everyday costs of living are always included in our rates: WiFi, phone plans, cable TV, linens service, and the use of our buildings’ recreational and fitness amenities. AGTA’s affordable equipment rental rates make Toronto travel not just physically, but financially accessible.

All you have to do is pick up the key to your DelSuites rental. With a pre-trip order to AGTA, all the supplies you need can be waiting for you.

All you need to do is arrive

Both DelSuites and AGTA understand that hospitality is everything. It’s core to a warm travel experience; it catches us after a hard health scare; it’s what lets us age at home. We’re proud to come together to make everything about Toronto travel and medical stays easier—and make much more possible.

To set up an accessible, supported Toronto stay, visit our Medical Stays information page. Our Bookings team and AGTA Home Health Care will help you settle into your home away from home—and make sure it’s a place to feel well and supported.
