Latest documented sample
What the latest sample covers
Nine GTA market samples, each with 200 priced records. Markets overlap: do not add the counts to produce a unique regional total.
Each market’s median asking rent with the 25th to 75th percentile range, plus bedroom medians where eight or more listings share a bedroom count.
The counts, medians and quartiles in a CSV file, with no addresses, photographs or contact details.
Collection times, deduplication and calculation rules, so anyone can check how each figure was produced.
The September 16 and October 22 samples use the same method, and the October page reads them side by side with the change in bedroom mix that explains part of each difference. Neither is comparable with the historical table below, and neither measures rent growth.

Among the nine market labels in this snapshot, Markham has the highest overall median asking rent at $2,855 a month. Mississauga is $2,750 and Richmond Hill is $2,700. Scarborough has the lowest overall median in this table at $2,400. These are sample comparisons, not rankings of every available rental in the region.
In this historical table, the one-bedroom median is $2,300 for Toronto and $1,600 for Brampton, a $700 difference. These figures describe the recorded samples; they do not establish the price of an equivalent home in each market.
Brampton's one and two bedroom medians are $1,600 and $1,899, while its overall median is $2,573. Overall and bedroom-specific medians describe different groups. The retained figures do not establish the property-type mix or explain why the medians differ.
Among the nine recorded market labels, the three-or-more-bedroom median is highest in Vaughan at $4,025, followed by Etobicoke at $3,700 and North York at $3,675. Scarborough is the only row in this table below $3,000, at $2,980.
Method and limitations
Reporters and researchers are welcome to cite these figures with a link back to this page. For a custom cut by city or bedroom type, contact the Tenant.ca team.
Every figure is computed from active rental listings on Tenant.ca at the time of the snapshot, not from a survey or a lagging quarterly dataset. The median is the middle asking price: half of listings ask more, half ask less. The middle-half range trims the top and bottom quarter of listings to show where a typical search actually lands.
This is a fixed historical snapshot. Live market pages can show a different observation date and sample. Future period comparisons require retained observations and a consistent method; this edition does not establish a comparable month-over-month series.
These are advertised asking rents, not achieved rents from completed leases or returns earned by Tenant.ca clients. The mix of property types and sizes can affect a city's median. Compare similar units before using a city figure to assess a property.
This edition does not publish the underlying city sample counts or a reproducible deduplication record. Treat the figures as descriptive context, not a complete census or a property valuation.
Toronto, Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke are feed market labels with potentially overlapping geography. The nine rows are not nine independent municipalities and must not be added together to create a regional total.
Each sample identifies its collection date, sample sizes and calculation method, and keeps its own page and download. Later samples are added here when they are collected; earlier ones stay available unchanged.
