About\u00a043 per cent of the newly\u00a0completed condos that went online this year were rented (<a href=\"http:\/\/ctt.ec\/tXem0\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet this<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Any rental apartment buildings or rented out condo units built after 1991 aren&#8217;t subject to provincial rent guidelines, so rents on new apartments mimic current market conditions, which has translated into high rents as demand stayed strong.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what we learned about condo rentals from the report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In Toronto,\u00a027.6 per cent of condos were rented out as of fall 2013, up from 23.6 per cent the same time in 2012 (<a href=\"http:\/\/ctt.ec\/lwfsc\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet this<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>The dollar difference between a 1-bedroom condo rental and a 1-bedroom apartment rental was largest in Toronto Centre, with a $586 price gap.<\/li>\n<li>The dollar difference between a 2-bedroom condo rental and 2-bedroom apartment rental in Toronto Centre was $720.<\/li>\n<li>Etobicoke or Toronto West recorded the largest percentage differences, with a 1-bedroom condo 57.49 per cent more expensive than a rental apartment and a 2-bedroom condo costing 54.55 per cent more than its apartment building equivalent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The CMHC didn&#8217;t have\u00a0statistically reliable data\u00a0for bachelor suites and three bedroom plus flats, but here are some stats for one-bedroom and two-bedroom rentals:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2013\/12\/rent-condo-apartment-toronto.html\/chart_1-3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69578\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69578\" alt=\"Toronto condo rental prices\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/chart_1-3.png\" width=\"675\" height=\"471\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2013\/12\/rent-condo-apartment-toronto.html\/screen-shot-2013-12-23-at-1-49-59-pm\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69677\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69677\" alt=\"toronto condo rents 1 bedroom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-23-at-1.49.59-PM.png\" width=\"577\" height=\"117\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2013\/12\/rent-condo-apartment-toronto.html\/chart_2-7\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69577\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69577\" alt=\"Toronto Condo Rent 2-bedroom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/chart_2-7.png\" width=\"675\" height=\"471\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><center><\/center><\/center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/2013\/12\/rent-condo-apartment-toronto.html\/screen-shot-2013-12-23-at-1-48-16-pm\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-69675\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69675\" alt=\"toronto condo apartment rent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Screen-Shot-2013-12-23-at-1.48.16-PM.png\" width=\"579\" height=\"117\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id='pressboard-ad-sponsorship-msg'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto&#8217;s rental landscape has gone condo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":69670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11269],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How much more does it cost to rent a condo versus an apartment in Toronto?
