Rent prices in Canada grew at a record pace last year as the country saw the lowest vacancy rate since 2001

"Lower vacancy rates and rising rents were a common theme across Canada [-] This caused affordability challenges for renters, especially those in the lower income ranges, with very few units in the market available in their price range."

The [vacancy rate] tightening was stark in [-] Toronto, which dropped from 4.4 per cent to 1.7 per cent.
