    Toronto asking rents fell for the better part of two years — then rose 1.2% from May to June, with the annual decline narrowing to 1.9%, and the market's own analysts called it "a possible early signal" of stabilization. Signal isn't confirmation: incentives still run as deep as months of free rent, supply keeps comple
