Finding cheap rentals under $1000 in Canada
Finding cheap rentals under $1000 in Canada may be a challenge depending on where you’re looking to rent. To increase your chances of finding an affordable home, familiarize yourself with the different neighbourhoods and the average rent in each area. Here are some neighbourhood guides to help you get started:
In addition to choosing your location, it’s important to know what rental types are available in Canada (e.g. 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom apartments, 3 bedroom apartments, studio apartments) and the average rent for each property type. Refer below to figure out your options - ranging from furnished rentals and unfurnished rentals to long term rentals and short term rentals.
Property Rental Types
There are many rental property types you can choose from in Canada.
Apartments for rent
In urban areas across Canada, apartments are the most common form of housing you’ll find. Average rent prices for apartments depend on where you’re looking. Apartments for rent in urban areas are typically more expensive due to higher demand. Apartments generally require much less maintenance than houses, making them ideal for renters who don’t need as much space.
Houses for rent
There are plenty of houses for rent across Canada for those with a higher budget, need extra space, or who have multiple roommates. Both partial houses and entire houses for rent are common, as well as both new builds and older homes. Some areas, like Toronto and Vancouver, are also known for an abundance of laneway homes and townhomes, making it easy to find a place to rent that suits your needs.
Townhouses for rent
Townhouses are a popular form of housing that combine the best qualities of both apartments and whole houses. Typically less expensive than houses, townhouses for rent offer an attractive combination of freedom and space, generally coming with your own private yard and entrance.
Basements for rent
For those looking to find affordable rental housing in this increasingly expensive city, basements for rent pose an attractive alternative. Since house prices are so expensive, homeowners will sometimes rent out their basements as a way to offset their mortgage payments. This makes it easy for renters to find relatively inexpensive basements for rent in areas throughout the country.
Condos for rent
In more urban areas like Vancouver and Toronto, condos for rent are a common sight. These types of rental accommodation are perfect for those who like to be in the centre of the action, and don’t need as much space. If you are looking to rent in the city centre though, be prepared for higher-than-average rent prices.
Rooms for rent
Sharing a house or apartment is practically essential for those looking for cheap rent. Rooms for rent are a great way to experience wherever you’re living on a budget, and can offer you the opportunity to live in neighbourhoods that would otherwise be unaffordable.
Special Rental Types
In addition to choosing your property type, there are also specific rental types you can look into.
Pet friendly rentals
Though not every landlord is keen on allowing pets, there are a good number of pet-friendly rentals across Canada for those with furry friends. Both dog-friendly and cat-friendly rental units are available throughout the country, as well as properties where both are allowed. Try searching for pet-friendly units using search filters on your rental platform to find units that match your needs.
Furnished rentals
If you’re new to town or just haven’t had a chance to pick up furniture of your own yet, not to worry – there are plenty of furnished rentals available in cities across Canada. Renters seeking furnished units should search for these units using filters, but do be prepared to pay more in rent. There are pros and cons to renting furnished units compared to unfurnished units, so deciding whether it’s worth it to buy furniture when moving is a good first step.
Short term rentals
Canada has plenty of work opportunities and world-class academic institutions, making it a popular place for those renting on a short-term basis. Short-term rentals are exceedingly popular in most cities, particularly during the summer months and at the beginning of school semesters. The added flexibility is an appealing prospect for many renters, and a key factor in deciding whether or not short-term rentals are right for you.
Cheap rentals
Canadian cities like Vancouver and Toronto aren’t known for inexpensive rent, but if you’re careful in your search, it shouldn’t be too hard to find something within your budget. If you’re looking for cheap rentals in Canada, try finding a roommate or two and exploring shared housing; or search for rooms for rent. It’s worth noting that in every city, there are neighbourhoods where rent is considerably cheaper, so exploring these options is a good idea as well.
Rental Amenities
When you’re searching for cheap rentals under $1000 in Canada, make sure to look at what amenities are offered. For instance, check to see if the rental includes utilities like air conditioning, cable and internet or features such as a dishwasher, parking, balcony and fridge.
Tip: When looking at listings on liv.rent, scroll down to the "Amenities" section to see what utilities and features are included with the rental.
Living in Canada
People from around the world look to Canada as a safe haven. Known for its natural beauty, multiculturalism, universal healthcare, and an open-minded citizenry, Canada is a coveted destination for newcomers. The three largest cities — Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver continue to attract 60% of overall immigrants; this is followed by mid-sized cities like Calgary and Winnipeg.

Popular Neighbourhoods in Canada
For those seeking to experience the very best that Canada has to offer, there are a number of neighbourhoods across the country that renters may want to look into. Vancouver and Toronto are likely the two Canadian cities renters will be most familiar with, but cities like Montreal, Calgary, and Edmonton each offer a similarly excellent standard of living with comparatively cheaper average rent prices. In Vancouver, renters tend to concentrate around the city’s Downtown, although areas like the West End and Kitsilano are also exceedingly popular. In nearby Burnaby, Brentwood and Metrotown are two popular and well-connected neighbourhoods.
Heading east, Calgary has become a popular destination for renters seeking more affordable rates, with areas like Beltline, Cityscape and Downtown among the most desirable locations. In Toronto, Downtown, The Annex, Kensington Market and the Entertainment District are all excellent choices for renters seeking to experience the best of the city in a central location. Montreal is known across the country for its vibrant cultural scene and has some great areas for renters to call home as well, like The Plateau-Mont-Royal and Downtown.

Canada is known for its impressive natural beauty and diverse culture from coast-to-coast.

British Columbia and Vancouver in particular are hugely popular destinations among visitors to Canada, with landmarks such as Stanley Park in Vancouver itself and Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver both extremely popular. The Rocky Mountain Range is another bucket-list trip for many, stretching from B.C. into Alberta and accessible by car from both Calgary and Edmonton, though the drive is fairly long.
