While it might not come as a surprise that rental prices are high in Vancouver, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment just might.
Rentals.ca has released its National Rent Rankings report for May 2019, and Vancouver has some of highest prices.

Furthermore, Vancouver was ranked the fourth most expensive city to rent in across the country, with one-bedrooms costing an average of $1,828.
