Rents for new tenants versus sitting tenants by province

Average monthly rent in October 2025 for purpose-built rental apartments whose tenant changed in the past year (turnover units) and for units with the same tenant (non-turnover units), for all units and for two-bedroom units, with the premium paid on turnover units (derived). From CMHC's Rental Market Survey (privately initiated apartment structures of three or more units in centres of 10,000 people or more). Estimates CMHC rates as poor quality (d) or suppresses are left blank. The gap reflects rent control rules, which differ by province, as well as differences between the units that turned over and those that did not.
