Are rents in St. Lawrence high or low?
St. Lawrence rents run 9% above the Toronto average for comparable units. Newer condos south of King tend to include more shared facilities while older rent-controlled buildings to the north often include utilities, so compare what's bundled in.

Data sources
This page combines three sources, in order of how much weight each carries once enough local data exists:
- Anonymous renter submissions. Real rents reported by renters in St. Lawrence.
- CMHC Rental Market Survey. Annual data covering purpose-built rentals.
- Rentals.ca market listings. Used for market context. Listings show asking rents, not necessarily signed rents.
Results are grouped by neighbourhood and unit type. Individual submissions are never shown publicly.
Before renting in St. Lawrence
- Walking distance to the Financial District and Union Station, favourite of professionals who don't want a commute.
- Mix of older rent-controlled rentals north of King and newer condo-rentals south. The condos have better amenities, the older buildings have utilities included.
- Saturday St. Lawrence Market traffic and tourist foot traffic make weekend mornings busy. The neighbourhood is meaningfully quieter mid-week.
- Compare by unit type. Bachelor, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom rents vary widely in St. Lawrence. Use the snapshot table above for the right benchmark.
- Check what is included. A unit at the top of the range may include heat, water, or parking. A bare unit at the same price is more expensive in practice.
- Ask about parking. Indoor parking can add $100 to $250 per month depending on the building.
- Compare building age and condition. A renovated unit in a newer building often rents above the neighbourhood range.
- Ask about rent increase rules. In Ontario, units first occupied before November 15, 2018 are rent controlled at the provincial guideline. Newer units are exempt between tenancies.
- Compare asking rent with reported rent. Listing sites show asking rents. Anonymous submissions help show what renters report paying.

Is my rent submission anonymous?
Yes. We do not collect your name, email, address, phone, or IP. We store only your neighbourhood, unit type, monthly rent, move-in year, city, and whether parking or utilities are included. There is no way to trace a submission back to a person.
Does FairRent show my exact address?
No. We never display individual rent submissions publicly. We only show grouped data: ranges, medians, and confidence labels by neighbourhood and unit type. Your submission becomes one of many anonymous data points feeding the neighbourhood benchmark.
Why should I submit my rent in St. Lawrence?
The data improves when more renters contribute. Your submission makes the St. Lawrence benchmark better for the next renter checking their rent here. Submission takes about a minute and stays anonymous. St. Lawrence has limited local data so far (3 submissions). Estimates rely primarily on CMHC and Rentals.ca data.
How often is this page updated?
Last updated March 2026. CMHC data is refreshed annually each fall. Rentals.ca data updates monthly. Anonymous renter submissions feed in continuously. Submissions older than two years are excluded so the benchmark stays current.
What if there is not enough data for St. Lawrence?
When local submissions are limited, the estimate relies primarily on CMHC and Rentals.ca data adjusted for St. Lawrence. Confidence labels in the table make this clear. The more renters in St. Lawrence submit, the stronger the local benchmark gets.
