The major ones are vacancy rates, rent control guidelines, and most importantly Toronto&#8217;s housing market.

The CMHC noted that strong youth employment figures boosted rental demand, with bachelor apartment rent prices climbing 4.3%. This is also the fourth year in a row that rent increases outpaced Ontario\u2019s provincial increase guideline, indicating \u00a0that high-priced new units and exceptions granted to landlords still dominate the market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the condo apartment market, a 13.6% increase was witnessed in 2013. While this percentage is very high in comparison to the private apartment rental market, the CMHC noted that condo data is skewed by the entry of newly-completed units to the market each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-color: #2D62CC;\" border=\"4\" width=\"850\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"6\"><strong>Toronto Rent Prices 2013<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #c0e2fc;\">\n<td><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Bachelor<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>1-Bedroom<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2-Bedroom<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>3-Bedroom+<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>City Average<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #c0e2fc; text-align: center;\"><strong>Private Apartment<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$876<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1035<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1225<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1493<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1139<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color: #c0e2fc; text-align: center;\"><strong>Condo Apartment<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0n\/a<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1576<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1835<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1727<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0$1742<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4848\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4848\" class=\"wp-image-4848\" title=\"Toronto Average Rent Price 2013\" src=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/block_4-3-1024x768.png\" alt=\"Toronto Average Rent Price 2013\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/block_4-3-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/block_4-3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/block_4-3-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.torontorentals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/block_4-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CMHC, Rental Market Report, 2013<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Toronto Rent Prices <a id=\"2012\"><\/a>2012<\/b><\/h3>\n<h6><b>Our Insights:<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rent prices in Toronto increased 3.4% in 2012 to become $1108, slightly exceeding the provincial guideline of 3.1%.
