Data sources
This page combines three sources, in order of how much weight each carries once enough local data exists:
- Anonymous renter submissions. Real rents reported by renters in Yaletown.
- CMHC Rental Market Survey. Annual data covering purpose-built rentals.
- Rentals.ca market listings. Used for market context. Listings show asking rents, not necessarily signed rents.
Results are grouped by neighbourhood and unit type. Individual submissions are never shown publicly.
Before renting in Yaletown
- Almost all rentals are condo-rentals in newer high-rises. Strata rules vary by building, some allow short-term rentals, some explicitly don't.
- Yaletown-Roundhouse SkyTrain (Canada Line) puts the airport, Richmond, and downtown on one line. A real differentiator for frequent travellers.
- False Creek-facing units command a significant premium over north-facing units in the same building. Confirm orientation, not just the floor.
- Compare by unit type. Bachelor, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom rents vary widely in Yaletown. Use the snapshot table above for the right benchmark.
- Check what is included. A unit at the top of the range may include heat, water, or parking. A bare unit at the same price is more expensive in practice.
- Ask about parking. Indoor parking can add $100 to $250 per month depending on the building.
- Compare building age and condition. A renovated unit in a newer building often rents above the neighbourhood range.
- Ask about rent increase rules. In BC, annual rent increases are capped at the provincial guideline for all existing tenancies.
- Compare asking rent with reported rent. Listing sites show asking rents. Anonymous submissions help show what renters report paying.

How does FairRent calculate rent benchmarks?
We combine public CMHC Rental Market Survey data, Rentals.ca market listing data, and anonymous renter submissions. CMHC data is comprehensive but lags. Listings show asking rents. Anonymous submissions show what renters report paying. The blend gets more accurate as more renters contribute.
Is my rent submission anonymous?
Yes. We do not collect your name, email, address, phone, or IP. We store only your neighbourhood, unit type, monthly rent, move-in year, city, and whether parking or utilities are included. There is no way to trace a submission back to a person.
Does FairRent show my exact address?
No. We never display individual rent submissions publicly. We only show grouped data: ranges, medians, and confidence labels by neighbourhood and unit type. Your submission becomes one of many anonymous data points feeding the neighbourhood benchmark.
Why should I submit my rent in Yaletown?
The data improves when more renters contribute. Your submission makes the Yaletown benchmark better for the next renter checking their rent here. Submission takes about a minute and stays anonymous. We are still building stronger data coverage for Yaletown. Add your rent anonymously to improve this page.
How often is this page updated?
Last updated June 2026. CMHC data is refreshed annually each fall. Rentals.ca data updates monthly. Anonymous renter submissions feed in continuously. Submissions older than two years are excluded so the benchmark stays current.
What if there is not enough data for Yaletown?
When local submissions are limited, the estimate relies primarily on CMHC and Rentals.ca data adjusted for Yaletown. Confidence labels in the table make this clear. The more renters in Yaletown submit, the stronger the local benchmark gets.
Is this legal or financial advice?
