In the month of July, the rent rate in Canada has broken all previous records.
According to data from Rentals.ca and research firm Urbanation, the average rent in Canada was $2,078 in July, which is 8.9% more than July last year.
This is the fastest increase in rent during the last three months.
The reason for the increase in rent is considered to be post-secondary students signing leases before the fall, population growth, and interest rate increase that forced people are to put off their idea of buying houses.
