FAQ

Ontario rent FAQs

147,980 rentals were leased through the TRREB MLS® in the 12 months to November 2026, at a median of $2,500 a month; the median 1-bedroom was $2,200 and the median 2-bedroom $2,700.

How is this ranking calculated?

Each city's figure is the median monthly rent of closed leases recorded on the TRREB MLS® over the last 12 months. Cities with fewer than 20 leases are left out, and no figure is published over fewer than 5 leases.

Sources & method

Where these rents come from.

  • Each figure is the median (or average) monthly rent of leases that closed on the TRREB MLS® over the last 12 months — agreed rents, not asking rents.
  • A city needs 20 or more leases to be ranked; a 1- or 2-bedroom median needs 5 or more leases, otherwise it shows "—".
  • Toronto's MLS® districts are combined into one Toronto figure. Region-wide pages (such as Peel or Durham) are not ranked; their member cities are.
  • Coverage follows the TRREB MLS®: the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding regions are deep, and some Ontario cities outside it have few or no listings on this board.
  • Rents under $300 or over $50,000 a month are excluded as data errors.
