Rental prices and vacancy rates
Where can I find rent and vacancy statistics for my city?
CMHC’s rental tables cover national, provincial and local markets. Choose the location, housing type and survey period before reading an average rent or vacancy rate. A survey average is not the asking rent for a particular apartment. Chat can retrieve the latest published report’s headline rental figures for supported market areas, with the report year attached.
Where to begin
- Open the rental market data directory and choose the appropriate table.
- Select the place, rental type and period shown in that table.
- Read the table notes before comparing markets or using a figure in a budget.
Before you open the official service
- City or province
- Rental type and bedroom count
- Survey period
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
Coverage and reporting frequency vary by table. This does not determine a legal rent increase, tenancy right or today’s asking rent; use the province’s rules for legal rental questions.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
