Rental rates for one-bedroom apartments in Kelowna climbed another $60 in October to $1,960, the fifth highest in Canada.<\/p>\n
That’s a 3.2% increase from September and a 17.4% increase over October 2021, according to data released today, Nov. 15, by online rental site Zumper.com.<\/p>\n
It’s still cheaper than three other B.C. cities with Victoria and Burnaby tied for third at $2,100.<\/p>\n
Toronto is the only non-B.C. city in the top five at $2,130 and Vancouver tops the list at $2,500 for a one-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n
For a two-bedroom apartment, the rent in Kelowna climbed a mere 0.4% to $2,410. In Vancouver, a two-bedroom apartment rents for $3,500.<\/p>\n
Out of the 24 cities on the Zumper.com list, St. John’s, NL, had the lowest rent at $890 for one bedroom.<\/p>\n
Kamloops is not included on the Zumper.com list because it had only eight listings. In a separate report, Zumper.com said rent for a one-bedroom apartment went up by 4% to $1,649 and two bedrooms fell 7% to $2,010.<\/p>\n
