200 priced listings per market. The bar shows the middle half of each market’s asking rents (25th to 75th percentile); the dot is the median.

Use this as a starting point for a property comparison

The samples can include different property types and portions of a home. Compare your rental with similar units and their inclusions before choosing an asking rent. Toronto and its named areas overlap; the nine market counts cannot be added to obtain a unique regional total.

Each market contains 200 priced listing records from the first two pages of the public feed sorted newest first. These are non-random samples of advertised inventory, not achieved rents, all available rentals, or client results. More inventory was available in every market.

The figures

Asking rents and sample sizes

All rents are CAD per month, rounded to whole dollars for display. The middle half is the 25th to 75th percentile. Exact calculated values are in the download.

Beside September 16

Two samples, the same method

Both samples read the 200 newest priced listings in each market, with the same deduplication and calculation rules, five weeks apart. The medians moved in both directions, and part of each move is the mix of what was newly advertised. In Scarborough, three-or-more-bedroom listings went from 35.0% to 43.0% of the sample as the median rose from $2,300 to $2,500; in Brampton they went from 60.0% to 53.5% as the median fell from $2,800 to $2,600. Read a difference as a change in the advertised sample, not as rent growth.

The September 16 sample stays available, unchanged.

Method

How the sample was collected

Five steps, from reading the public feed to calculating each median and quartile. They are the same five steps as on September 16.

Read pages 1 and 2, with 100 records per page, from Tenant.ca’s public listing feed for each market in Ontario, using all sources and the newest-first sort. Collection ran from 5:30:11 to 5:30:17 p.m. Toronto time. Response observation timestamps, which the feed sets when it prepares each page, ranged from 5:30:06 to 5:30:10 p.m.
Retain only listing-ID hashes, numeric asking rents and bedroom counts for the internal calculation record. No owner, tenant or applicant contact details, street addresses or photographs are included in that retained record or the download.
Deduplicate listing IDs within each market. No repeated IDs or unpriced records occurred in these samples. Separate IDs or relistings for the same unit may remain; this is not a deduplicated property census.
Calculate a median only for 20 or more priced records. Publish a bedroom median only when at least eight priced records have that bedroom count; otherwise report the count and leave the median blank. Studio and unknown-bedroom counts are included in the download.
Sort rents numerically. For even counts, average the two central observations for the median. Select quartile observations at zero-based index round(p × (n − 1)), with p equal to 0.25 or 0.75.

Limitations

What the figures cannot tell you

One market observation had an asking rent above $15,000: a Vaughan listing that the source feed describes as a house with five bedrooms. It was retained under the positive-price rule; its asking price and availability have not been independently verified.

There is no automatic outlier trimming, property-type weighting or adjustment for parking, utilities, condition or unit size. Feed geography and listing freshness can affect the results. The requests are a short collection window, not an atomic inventory snapshot.

The September and October samples were collected at different times of day and five weeks apart. Their side-by-side reading above shows how the advertised samples differ; it does not measure how rents changed for any unit. The earlier late-August report used a different method and is not comparable with either sample.

Property-type comparisons are not available in this sample

The retained calculation record contains listing identifiers, asking rents and bedroom counts. It does not retain a property-type field, so this sample cannot supply separate condo, apartment, house or partial-home medians. Bedroom grouping alone does not make unlike properties comparable.

Use and attribution

When referencing this sample, identify Tenant.ca, the October 22 collection date, the relevant market and the fact that it is a sample of advertised asking rents. Link to this dated page so readers can check the counts and limitations. The downloadable file contains aggregate figures only.

Contact Tenant.ca about the methodology or a correction. The dated page and download will remain available; later samples receive their own collection date.
