Renters’ shelter costs by duration of tenancy / by Samuel MacIsaac and David Wavrock.CS36-28-0001/2025-8-3E-PDF

"Renters’ shelter costs can vary substantially by duration of tenancy. Renters who recently moved into their dwelling can pay substantially more than longstanding renters. This tenure-based discrepancy in rents paid can have important implications in terms of discouraging residential mobility and, by extension, Canadian labour mobility. Using data from the Census of Population and the National Household Survey, this study sheds light on trends in shelter cost differences by duration of tenancy from 1996 to 2021, and how this gap in rental costs between recent renters and longer-term renters varies across municipalities and neighbourhoods"--Abstract, page 1.
