The Canadian tenants spend a constantly growing amount of their salary saw for rent, although they may qualify for a mortgage.
According to the analysis of Singlekey Inc., which falls just below 40 percent “crises” level, they spend 37.6 percent of their income nationwide.
But Toronto's tenants have already reached the crisis by issuing 41.1 percent of their salaries for housing or an average of $ 2,899 per month.
The average rent in Canada is 2,200 US dollars per month, with the 3,095 US dollars per month the most expensive city for tenants.
No wonder that tenants have a hard time paying the bills. In a recent report on Equifax Canada, it states that non-murder holders twice as likely missed a loan role than those with a mortgage.
“While the overall crime rate seems to be, the underlying story is far more complex,” said Rebecca Oakes, Vice President of the Advanced Analytics at Equifax Canada, in a press release. “We continue to see a growing gap between mortgage and non-murder consumers and the continuing financial burden among younger Canadians who are exposed to a slower labor market and increasing costs.”
A total of 1.4 million Canadians missed a loan in the second quarter of 2025, while consumer debt rose to 2.58 trillion dollars, said Equifax.
Despite the rents for condominiums and apartments in July, this happens by 3.6 percent compared to the previous year and marks the 10th month in a row in which the Canadas rents have dropped compared to the previous year, according to rental data.
The good news for tenants is that it doesn't look like the rent would soon increase.
“The rental decline of 3.6 percent compared to the previous year in July is greater than the decline of 2.7 percent recorded in June and suggests that the rental backing is expected to further tighten,” said CA in his report.
Nevertheless, the prices of 11.1 percent remain higher than three years ago, said approx.
Despite the challenges of paying their bills, many tenants could still qualify for a mortgage. The average creditworthiness among tenants is 694, said Singlekey, which is above the 680 threshold, which is required for many large banks for approval.
Tenant in Toronto and Vancouver have credit scores of 729 and 730, which are significantly higher than the threshold of the mortgage permit.
Alberta has the lowest provincial credit rating among the tenants at 681, so the average tenant in each province has a loan score for the mortgage approval.
