The lowest vacancy rates were in Winnipeg and Regina at 0.7%, Quebec City at 1%, Toronto at 1.6%, and Kingston at 1.7%If you find yourself in a bind looking for an apartment, your best bets are in Windsor, Kelowna/ Abbotsford, and Charlottetown who currently have the highest vacancy rates at 9.4%, 6.6%, and 4.9% respectively.Concurrently, the average monthly rent crept up $14 in the past year.
