1. What is the Rent Estimation Calculator?

The Rent Estimation Calculator provides an approximate monthly rental price for houses in Canada based on comparable properties in the area, adjusted for specific features of the property.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a comparative market analysis approach:

Where:

• Comparable Rents — Average rents for similar properties in the area
• Features — Adjustments for property characteristics (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)

Explanation: The calculator starts with base rents for each location, then adjusts for property size and features to provide a customized estimate.

3. Importance of Rent Estimation

Details: Accurate rent estimation helps landlords price competitively and helps tenants understand fair market value when searching for rental properties.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select your city, enter the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, provide the square footage, and select any additional features. The calculator will provide an estimated monthly rent in Canadian dollars.
