</p><p> According to <a href="https://www.zumperrentals.com/blog/rental-price-data-canada/" target="_blank">Zumper's latest Canadian Rent Report</a>, Montreal has fallen slightly on the list of most expensive cities to rent in Canada. We're now sandwiched between London, ON and Calgary, AB for one-bedroom prices.
</p><p> Although our costs still saw a small uptick on the year (while <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/montreal-how-much-buy-home" target="_blank">home prices</a> skyrocketed), Montreal's average one-bedroom rent dipped slightly from $1,750 in January to $1,710 this month, reflecting a modest decline of 2.3%. The city's drop in position was thanks to Halifax's recent price surge and Kingston's jaw-dropping climb.
</p><p> Meanwhile, Vancouver and Toronto's prices remain sky-high despite both cities recording substantial declines since last year.
</p><p> Here's the latest breakdown of the top 13 cities with the priciest one-bedroom rents in the country:
