Understanding this indicator
- What it is
- Statistics Canada's experimental estimate of the average rent renter households actually pay for 2-bedroom apartments, published quarterly.
- How it's measured
- Statistics Canada estimates it from what renter households report paying in its household surveys, so it includes long-term tenants.
- How to read it
- Paid rents change more slowly than asking rents because most tenants aren't moving.
- Compare with asking rents to see the premium for moving.
- Limitations
- Experimental statistics: the methods may still change.
