Renting in Canada

In most Canadian cities, websites like Craigslist, Kijiji, или PadMapper are the best sources of rental listings.

Finding a place to rent in Canada can take some time. Nationwide, Canada had a rental vacancy rate в 2012 из только 2.3 процентов. As long as vacancy rates remain low, you should allow a longer period to find a rental unit than you might expect.

While rental prices vary significantly by city–and by neighborhood within a city–the following averages may help with your budgeting. Nationwide, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in mid-2012 was $887.

В 2012, the most expensive cities for renters in Canada were Ванкувер, Торонто, Калгари, Оттава, Виктория, и Эдмонтон. The following table shows the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment in each of these communities:
