Properties with in-unit or on-site laundry facilities are significantly more attractive to renters, with 92% of listings featuring this amenity. Including utilities in the rent (offered by 58% of landlords) can also make your listing more appealing by providing predictable monthly costs for tenants.

Based on our extensive platform data and market analysis, several key trends are shaping Canada's rental landscape this year:
Cities like Brampton, Mississauga, and Surrey are experiencing significant growth in rental activity. The shift towards remote and hybrid work models has made suburban living more attractive, offering more space at relatively lower costs than downtown cores.
With 48% of listings being basement apartments, this property type continues to offer the most affordable entry point into the rental market. These units typically range from $1,200 to $1,800 per month, making them ideal for young professionals, students, and newcomers to Canada.
Modern renters expect more than just four walls. The overwhelming presence of laundry facilities (92%) and the majority offering included utilities (58%) shows that convenience and predictable costs are non-negotiable for today's tenants.
With only 15% of listings accepting pets, there's a significant gap between supply and demand. Property owners who can accommodate pets may find their units rent faster and command slight premium pricing.
As Canada continues to welcome immigrants and international students, rental demand in suburban markets will likely remain strong throughout 2025 and beyond. Properties that offer flexible lease terms, inclusive amenities, and competitive pricing will continue to perform well in this evolving market.
