TABE Webinar: REITS & Rent Dynamics: Understanding the Impacts on Rental Markets

Concerns in Canada about the cost of rent have been growing. While many factors contribute to rising rents, a commonly referenced source is private investment in real estate. But how well do we really understand the effects of such investment on rents?

This is exactly the question asked in two studies recently done by CMHC. The first explores the effects of real estate investment trusts (REITs) on rents in Toronto and Vancouver, and the second focuses on Montréal’s rental market.
