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 thousands 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.
