According to Rentals.ca and real estate research firm Urbanation, the Canadian market continued its upward trajectory with data suggesting a monthly increase of 1.5 per cent from August, and an annual surge of 11.1 per cent.

Experiencing double-digit year-over-year growth, the annual rate of rent inflation surged to its highest point in nine months, stated the report.

The reportโ€™s metrics are based on new listings, not what existing tenants are paying per month.

In terms of rental types, one-bedroom units recorded the fastest annual growth in asking rents, soaring by 15.5 per cent, reaching an average of $1,905.

Yes, by percentage of caucus CPC (46%), LPC (39%), BQ, and NDP(16%) according to disclosures.

Indeed, and landlords in Parliament are not a problem per se. Having them at such a disproportionate rate versus the general population absolutely is.
