Toronto finished second on the list of 35 cities for average monthly rent in November.

In Toronto, the average for a one-bedroom was at $2,532 and the average monthly rent for a two-bedroom was at $3,347.

“Rents in Canada are rising at an exceptionally high speed, which is having a profound effect on housing affordability as interest rates continue to rise. With the most expensive cities experiencing very low supply and the fastest rates of rent increase, regions with high population growth are seeing demand shift into more affordable areas,” said Shaun Hildebrand, president of Urbanation.
