Despite signs of relief, Toronto still ranked as the second most expensive Canadian city to live in for renters, following Vancouver, B.C.
Currently, the average price of a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto is just over $2,600 a month, the report states. A two-bedroom unit will cost an average of $3,469, while the price of a three-bedroom is nearly $4,000.
The drop in overall prices in Toronto rent may be fuelled by a year-over-year decline in costs of one-bedrooms. Last year, single-bedroom units in the city were about three per cent more expensive.
In Vancouver, one-bedroom apartments are currently costing tenants an average of $2,894 a month.
