Really, the need for multiple bathrooms is a Western luxury. My family of 6 in the USA always functioned with 1 bathroom, standing shower only - no bathtub.
Why only 1 bathroom? Plumbing is expensive. Why spend $20,000 on plumbing in a second bathroom, fixtures, and waterproofing plus labor when you can lay carpet, put up regular paint, and use it as a part of the living space or strorage? There is little incentive. A second bathroom doesn't increase rent significantly.
Basically, its about money. Landlords are going to spend as little as possible to make a apartment livable.

My landlord is due by tomorrow. If I get to talk to him, I'll ask if he has any openings.
He thinks I'm scary for some reason, so he usually only talks to my husband!

Jun 2013 first ween
So my landlord said he doesn't have anything right now for June. He only has 1 empty right now (the unit above me) and he hopes to have it rented by March 1st. I told him to let me know if anything comes up.

If somebody knows something for me and my wife around 1st of aug, I would be very greatful

We are looking for a condo/appt/house anything but a shared house or basement around ~1000 CAD, or is that difficult to get?

If you look in the NE or upper SE, you can probably find an apartment for rent for less than $1000 CAD. Probably one bedroom, maybe two. Might not be in the nicest neighborhood.
For a two bedroom condo, prices in decent areas usually start at $1200/month not including utilities.

Thanks keep asking
An apartment search resource I've used before for apartments for rent in Calgary is RentSeeker.ca's Calgary apartment rental page - they offer a user friendly interface and easy navigation of their property rental database.
Good luck with you search.

Hi,
Brother rentfaster.ca and Kijiji Calgary are considered as best resource to find a place in Calgary.But you know nowadays due to summer season and lot of people moving to Calgary from inside/outside of Canada ,there is huge scarcity of houses especially in nice communities.So,it will be a good idea if you start contacting owners now.
All the best!

Yes and rent prices are jumping fast. You used to be able to find a two bedroom basement suite with utilities for $700/month easy. Now it's hard to find anything under $1000! And in less than two years time. Luckily, my husband and I found something decent in an okay neighborhood and are locked in - but now the owner is selling. We can only hope the new owner will let us stay for the price we pay.... we aren't ready to buy a house yet (not until I can work).
