A TikTok video appeared to show someone in Toronto listing half a bed to rent for $650 a month.
The latest sign that "hot bedding" — sharing a bed with a stranger to save money on rent — is on the rise.
In a TikTok posted last month, Toronto-based realtor Anya Ettinger highlighted a post on Facebook Marketplace that appeared to show someone offering to rent out half a bed in exchange for 900 Canadian dollars ($650) a month.
"Just when you thought the Toronto market couldn't get any worse, it did," Ettinger says in the TikTok video.
