Changes compare only the landlords listing that size at both dates, so they can differ from the gap between two medians; hover a change to see the medians compared. – : too few listings to publish a figure, or no comparable listings at the earlier date.
Methodology
Every day, PognerApart collects the apartments listed for rent on the websites of landlords and property managers in Quebec. Each edition is a snapshot of the listings live at the end of the month.
Rents are asking rents, the price shown in the listing, not signed leases. Sizes follow the Quebec convention (a 4½ has two bedrooms). Listings without a recognisable size are left out of the size tables but counted in the totals.
A median is published only when at least 5 listings back it.
Changes compare like with like: only landlords listing that size in that city at both dates are counted, and each side needs at least 5 listings. A landlord that PognerApart starts tracking therefore cannot pass for a rise or fall in rents.
Coverage depends on which landlords publish their vacancies online. Private owners and classified ads are not included, so the figures describe the professionally managed rental market.
