In Canada overall, the average asking price for rent fell 1.9 per cent in October and 2.2 per cent over the last three months.

This marks the first national decline in rent since the COVID-19 pandemic. Officials say rent growth in the country has been slowing down since the summer with a 9.3 per cent incline reported in May.
