Assuming that's a photo of the apartment, that shit would be like 15k a month in NY. Not that any of it's right, just, or moral, but they definitely had it better than most to be paying that little for what many would consider quite a luxury apartment.
No it wouldn't. Here is a comparable: https://www.realtor.com/rentals/details/166-Amsterdam-Ave_New-York_NY_10023_M33265-52776?property_id=3326552776&from=ab_mixed_view_card
A three bedroom would go for $12k a month, but we don't even have three bedroom units here. Assuming this is a two bedroom it would probably be in the middle of the range given. So 7k-8k USD. But Toronto shouldn't be as expensive as Manhattan, NYC.
toronto isn't NY.
same thing might be $2k USD equivilant in Adelaide. did you actually consider location might be a factor here?
