The study looked at thousands of listings across 23 of the largest Canadian cities. Vancouver took first place with an average rent of $2,130 for a one-bedroom — growing 1.4% from this time last year.

Toronto took second place with rent climbing 1.7%, to an average of $1,800.

Two bedrooms in Vancouver go for an average of $2,900 now.

Barrie, Ont. took the third spot on the list, and Kelowna, B.C. was fourth.
