About FairRent Canada
FairRent shows you what real renters pay in your area. Free for renters. Always anonymous.
The problem
Most renters do not know if their rent is fair. CMHC reports lag 12 to 18 months. Listing sites show asking prices, not what people actually pay. City averages hide large differences between neighbourhoods.
Landlords have market data. Renters should too.
What we do
FairRent combines CMHC and Rentals.ca data with hundreds of anonymous renter submissions. The result is a neighbourhood-level rent benchmark for every city we cover.
Renters get a free rent check in about a minute. They see a fair range, a confidence level, and rent control status where it applies.
How we stay honest
We show ranges, not single numbers. Every estimate carries a confidence level based on how many recent local submissions we have.
Renter submissions are anonymous. We store only neighbourhood, unit type, rent amount, move-in year, and whether parking or utilities are included. We never share your name, email, address, or individual rent.
What we are not
FairRent is not a legal service. We do not provide legal advice, professional appraisals, or official determinations of fair market rent. Results are estimates for information only.
Built for renters first
FairRent started with a simple problem: renters can see listing prices, but it is hard to know what people actually pay. We use anonymous submissions to fix that, one rent at a time.
We are not here to help landlords set prices, and we do not sell renter data. We are here so the next renter walks in knowing what fair looks like. Every rent that gets shared makes that a little more true.
