Canada’s Most Expensive Cities to Rent In Feature Vancouver, Burnaby, and Toronto


The average rent for one and two-bedroom apartments in 35 cities across Canada featured in the Rentals.ca  November 2023 report. 

According to the study, the annual rate of rent growth in the country was 9.9% in October, which is a moderate decrease from September’s annual pace of 11.1%. However, it was the second fastest annual increase of the past seven months.

Moreover, average asking rents went up by 1.4% month-over-month in October, which is slightly slower than monthly gains of 1.5% in September and 1.8% in August, because of seasonal reasons.

The $175 (or 8.8%) rent increase in just the last six months caused rents to average $2,178 on October 23, which showcases a growth in housing asking prices for six months in a row.

Rentals.ca asserts that the cause for said inflated rental hikes – especially for cities in Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia – is population growth and a new rental supply priced at market rents that are higher than average.
