See where the asking price sits against real comparable listings nearby — below market, fair, or over — with the comps to back it up.
rentperch checks the largest rental platforms today to see what similar places nearby are actually asking — so you know whether that listing is a deal, fair, or priced for someone who won't check.
Independent by design — the asking price never influences the estimate. How we estimate →
Compare it against what similar units nearby are asking right now — same bedrooms, similar size, same property type. If the asking price sits well above those comparables, it's high. That's exactly the check this tool runs: enter the listing and the asking price, and we plot it against the current market range for that address.
Fair market rent is what similar units in the same area actually rent for today — not a government average from last year. It moves with the neighbourhood, the building, the size, and what's included (parking, pets, furniture). A fair asking price sits inside the range of current comparable listings.
It depends on your province. Ontario, BC, Quebec, Manitoba and PEI cap or review increases for most existing tenancies (with exceptions — for example, many newer Ontario buildings are exempt); Alberta and most other provinces limit how often rent can rise, not by how much. Between tenancies, landlords can generally re-list at any price — which is why checking the market before you sign matters.
It depends on the comparables. Condos and apartments with several active same-building or same-street listings produce tight ranges; houses and unusual units have fewer comparables, so treat those estimates as a guide. We show you the comparables behind every estimate and a confidence level, so you can judge the evidence yourself.
