How does Ottawa's rental market compare to other Canadian cities?

Average Rent - Renting in Ottawa, Shaunna McIntosh Ottawa Real Estate Broker / REALTOR®

In comparison to other Canadian cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, Ottawa’s rental market offers a more favourable landscape for prospective tenants. While the national average for rental prices across all property types in Canada remained high, Ottawa’s rental market demonstrates more moderate growth trends. Despite the nationwide trend of an 8.4% increase in asking rent, Ottawa experienced a slower growth of 6.8% (as reported by Rentals.ca). This slower growth indicates a more stable and affordable rental market in Ottawa.
