Live Filter: Frequently Asked Questions
Rewrites the legacy "Chronicle" naming and "real-time feed" framing to match the actual public-safe published-view data model (not a live mirror of raw Facebook posts). Removes the unverified "140,000+ members" claim until a real, current figure is available (see the TOHS Community Size entry).
What do you mean by "vetted"? Every listing shown here has been manually reviewed and approved by a Toronto Home Zone moderator against our posting rules, rent cap, and the Ontario Human Rights Code before it appears in the Live Filter.
How often is this updated? The Live Filter shows a public-safe view of Toronto Home Zone listings. New rentals appear here once they've been reviewed and approved by our moderators. Because each listing links back to an original Facebook post, we can't always track when a poster manually deletes their post or marks a room as rented -- so a link may occasionally lead to content that's no longer available.
How do I report a problem? Please report fraudulent activity, unsafe behaviour, or undignified housing directly to the group Admin on Facebook, including any evidence (screenshots, recordings) you can provide.
What is the Live Filter? We've built several versions of this tool since 2021 to make searching for a rental through our community easier and less overwhelming. It aggregates the most recent, moderator-approved listings so you can search by post type, term, move-in window, area, and other details without wading through unmoderated noise.
