Rent growth slowed as rental market softened
[7]
“Rent growth slowed across Metro Vancouver after several years of high increases. A softer rental market due to both increased supply and lower demand led to the lowest same-sample percentage rent change in 20 years (Table 1.1.5). This rate was lower than the province’s maximum allowable rent increase of 3% in 2025, indicating many landlords weren’t raising rents for existing tenants. This trend was clearest in centres facing lower demand outside of the inner core.”

“Despite these changes, only about 1% – 2% of rental units affordable to lower-income households were vacant, showing a need for more affordable housing (Table 3.1.8). This is particularly challenging for families seeking 2 or more bedrooms. Vacancies for units affordable to households earning below the 60th income percentile remained extremely limited.”

rate in Toronto hit 3% for the first time since the pandemic, while Vancouver reached
3.7%, the highest level since 1988. A strong increase in rented condominium
apartments added competitive pressure to the purpose-built segment. Rental

Vacancy rates steady as new supply was absorbed
[16]
“Calgary’s rental market remained stable in 2025, despite a significant rise in new completions. The average vacancy rate for purpose-built rentals remained unchanged at 5% in 2025 indicating overall balanced supply and demand.”
Vacancy rates steady as new supply was absorbed
[17]
“The highest vacancy rate (6.7%) was in the highest rent quartile (Table 1.4). While this rate was lower than in 2024, it remained elevated for the higher-end market, which often competes with the condominium apartment market. Amenity-rich and competitively priced post-2015 buildings also had higher vacancy rates compared to the older ones. Overall, compared to lower quartiles, vacancy rates in higher-rent units remained elevated, showing that absorption took longer for these units.”
Purpose-built rental supply continued to grow
[18]
“In 2025, more new purpose-built rentals were added to Vancouver’s rental supply, with growth higher than the 5-year average (Table 1.1.3). Growth continued to be concentrated in the City of Vancouver, with a large addition this year in the growing Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. Favourable zoning policies 7 and cost waivers from the City, combined with sustained demand, have incentivized rental development in the City.”
Vacancy rates rose as supply growth outpaced demand
[19]
“The rental market in the Edmonton CMA softened in 2025, with the vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments rising to 3.8%, as expected . The increase was driven by an imbalance between supply and demand: rental completions stayed well above historical averages, while demand growth slowed due to higher youth unemployment and weaker household formation.”
Average rent growth slowed as tenants had more options
[20]
“The average for same-sample 2-bedroom apartments rose at a slower pace in 2025 (Table 1.1.5). Rent growth was generally subdued across most zones, except for Fort Saskatchewan, where rents rose by 7.4% due to limited new supply.”
Turnover increased as renters sought new choices
[21]
“After several years of stability, turnover rates in Edmonton increased to 28.8% in 2025. Most of this increase occurred in areas with a significant number of new completions such as Downtown, West Jasper Place, Southwest and East Central zones (Table 1.1.6).”
Vacancy Rate Stabilized
[22]
“The vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments in the Regina CMA stayed at 2.7 % in 2025. This rate is well below its 10-year average and lower than expected .”
Turnover rates declined as fewer renters moved
[23]
“Turnover rates in Saskatoon fell significantly in 2025 (Table 1.1.6). Among units within the same structure, those that turned over had an average rent 7% higher than those that didn’t (Canada Table 6.2). This rent difference may have discouraged renters from moving, contributing to the decline in turnover rates.”

This rent difference may have discouraged renters from moving, contributing to the decline in turnover rates.”
Vacancy increased as supply growth outpaced weaker demand
[25]
“Purpose-built rental supply grew by 2.6%, which was less than half of last year’s pace. While supply growth was modest, demand increased even more slowly, leading to higher vacancy rates. Manitoba’s year-to-date population continued to grow, but at its slowest pace in 2 decades. Declines in non-permanent residents, slower international immigration and rising unemployment further reduced the pace of rental demand growth.”
Lower international student enrolment weighed on rental demand
[26]
“Areas of the GTA with post-secondary institutions observed notably higher vacancy rates (Figure 7). For instance, Downsview, home to York University’s Keele campus and 2 colleges, saw its vacancy rate increase from 0.7% in 2023 to 3.1% in 2025. Post-secondary neighbourhoods in Mississauga and Brampton saw their vacancy rates climb above 4%.”
Lower turnover rents increased tenant mobility from record lows
[27]
“In 2024, rental operators mostly offered incentives instead of lowering rents. By 2025, as competition grew, many began reducing rents. This was reflected in our data, where the average turnover rent — the rent charged on a new lease after a unit turnover — for a 2-bedroom unit declined by 2.5%. 9”
Rental supply to grow further, especially in the suburbs
[28]
“After exceptional growth in 2024, the GTA’s purpose-built rental supply expanded minimally in 2025, increasing by just +0.4%. However, above-average growth is expected again, with a record number of rental apartments under construction in Q3 of 2025.”
Affordability still a challenge
[29]
“Rental affordability improved slightly in 2025 as turnover rents fell, non-turnover rents remained mostly flat and incomes rose. However, years of declining affordability had an impact. This meant the average earner in the GTA still needed to spend a significant share of after-tax income — 42% — to rent a vacant 1-bedroom unit (Table 1.1.9). Two-thirds of a minimum wage earner's disposable income was required to rent a vacant studio apartment. 10”
Turnover rates declined
[30]
“In the Regina CMA, rents for turnover units were 3.6% higher than those for non-turnover units (Canada Table 6.2). This likely discouraged some renters from moving, which reduced the turnover rates (Table 1.1.6).”
Supply expanded but skewed toward the high-end
[31]
“Rental apartment supply in Kitchener – Cambridge – Waterloo grew by 2.8% in 2025, with increases seen across the region. However, most new units entering the market were not attainable to lower-income renters (Table 3.1.7). As a result, while renters had more choices, affordability remained a key challenge for this group (Table 3.1.8). This was highlighted by a vacancy rate under 1% for the least expensive units (Table 1.4).”
Highest vacancy rate since 2010
[32]
“At 4%, the vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments in the London CMA rose to its highest level in 15 years. The main reasons were a decline in international migration, a softening economy and record-high supply increases. Although we expected market conditions to ease, weaker-than-expected demand pushed the vacancy rate above our forecast.”
Rental completions posted another record high in 2025
[33]
“London’s purpose-built rental apartment supply grew by 2.1% in 2025. Most unit types and sub-regions saw increases in supply. This growth was driven by strong rental apartment completions, with 2,585 units completed between January and September 2025. This surpassed the record set in 2024.”
Vacancy rate rose slightly in 2025
Vacancy rate (%) for units built since 2015 vs. all units
“Vacancy rate (%) for units built since 2015 vs. all units: 2.1”
“Unlike the Quebec portion of the CMA (Gatineau), Ottawa saw slower rent growth (Canada, Table 1.0). It reached 3.4%, after an increase of nearly 5% in 2024. This lower growth reflects softer market conditions. It’s also related to the permitted increase of 2.5% for units built before 2019 that haven’t turned over to new tenants.”
“Rent increases were much higher for households that moved. For 2-bedroom units that turned over to new tenants, rent growth was over 5 times the average rate. In general, vacant units were 13% more expensive than occupied units. The rent gap was slightly higher for units with 2 or more bedrooms (17%), which are in high demand.”
Rental condominium apartment market remained tight
[37]
“The rental condominium apartment supply grew by 10%, exceeding that of conventional rental units (4.7%). Weakness in the resale market for newly built condominium apartments led many units initially intended for resale to be rented instead. A similar trend was observed in Canada’s other main urban markets.”

A similar trend was observed in Canada’s other main urban markets.”
Vacancy Rate Stabilized
[39]
“The vacancy rate in the most affordable segment remained steady, while units with highest rents saw a decline (Table 1.4). Similarly, the vacancy rate for 3-bedroom and larger units dropped to 1.4 % from 3.9 %, indicating strong demand for family-sized units.”
Vacancy rate stayed high
[40]
“In 2025, the average vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments in the Windsor CMA remained high at 3.7%. This was higher than the Ontario and national averages and roughly aligned with our forecast . Declining international migration and tariff-related challenges kept market conditions soft.”
Rental market continued to ease in Greater Montréal
[41]
“In 2025, the vacancy rate in Greater Montréal rose for the second year in a row, reaching 2.9% (Table 1.1.1). The increase was most pronounced for newly built units, which had vacancy rates well above the average (Table 3.1.7). In contrast, the most affordable units remained scarce (Table 1.4).”
Average rents rose despite market easing
[42]
“Even though rental market conditions in Montréal softened, rent growth accelerated in 2025, reaching 7.2% (Table 1.1.5). This happened amid lower tenant turnover, which is typically linked to significant rent increases (Table 1.1.6).”

“Average change (%) in rent for units that turned over to new tenants and those that didn’t, 2-bedroom apartments, Montréal CMA: 18.7”
Lower turnover rents increased tenant mobility from record lows
[44]
“Lower turnover rents incentivized those who signed leases at peak rates a few years ago to explore other options. Increased tenant mobility was evidenced by turnover moving off its record low of 6.4% to 8.5% in 2025. Higher turnover was observed across bedroom types, building ages and sub-regions, pointing to more favourable market conditions for tenants (Tables 1.1.6 and 1.2.3).”
Rental market conditions softened in 2025
[45]
“This trend was partly due to the addition of newly built units to the market, which often have the highest rents. These units had higher than average vacancy rates at nearly 6% (Table 3.1.7), compared to 1% for units with rents below the median. However, the supply of the most affordable units increased less significantly and remains limited.”
Rent growth accelerated despite softer market conditions
[46]
“Despite a softer market, the average same-sample rent for 2-bedroom units grew by 6.7% in 2025 — higher than the 3.8% growth rate seen last year. Rent increases were primarily driven by landlords maximizing allowable rent caps and the widening gap between rents paid by existing and new tenants.”
Rent growth accelerated despite softer market conditions
[47]
“Turnover units accounted for about one third of average rent growth (Canada table 6.1). On average, rent paid for a 2-bedroom unit was repriced 23% higher when a new tenant took over the lease on a vacated unit (turnover unit), compared to 4% for sitting tenants (non-turnover units).”
