This web site questions the accuracy of CMHC Ontario rent statistics Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, an arm of the our federal government, twice yearly reports on rents and vacancy rates throughout Canada. These figures provided by landlords are used by all levels of government to help set housing policy. They are also widely reported by the media and influence the public's impression of rental housing costs. Read my press release: CMHC Rental Market Survey on why the rent statistics for Ontario are inherently inaccurate, and why comparing one year to the next is like comparing apples to oranges. Canada Mortgage and Housing figures in recent year under-report real rental costs and therefore under-report the rate of rent increases.
