Canadian rent growth slowed slightly last month, but rental market experts are attributing at least some of that moderation to “seasonal factors.” In Toronto, however, the market continues to soften, with rents seeing a year-over-year dip for the first time since August 2021.

In Toronto, however, the market continues to soften, with rents seeing a year-over-year dip for the first time since August 2021. Canadian rent growth slowed slightly last month, but rental market experts are attributing at least some of that moderation to “seasonal factors.” From Rentals.ca and Urbanation, average asking rent in Canada hit $2,178 in October, marking a record high for the sixth straight month. However, that figure is up just 1.4% from the month prior.

That same month-over-month metric came in at 1.5% in September and 1.8% in August. Compared to October 2022, the national average was up 9.9% — but again, the annual pace of growth has slowed slightly from 11% in September. Even so, says the report, last month’s year-over-year rise represents the “second fastest annual increase of the past seven months.” Even more notably, the report points out that Canadian tenants are now seeing their rents rise, on average, by 8.8% or $175 each month. That average is based on data from the past six months
