PadMapper's national rent report shows that Montreal is the only city outside of those two provinces to crack the top 10 for yet another month.

Toronto's one and two-bedroom prices are down -11% and -12%, respectively, since this time last year.
Meanwhile, Vancouver’s one-bedroom rent has fallen -7.8% and two-bedroom rent has even dropped into the double digits with a -14.9% year-over-year dip.
Abbotsford, Halifax and St. Catharines all trended upwards in month over month prices, with Abbotsford seeing the largest jump at 5.3%.
The cities with the largest downward trends for September were Calgary, Barrie and Quebec City, which all saw one-bedroom rental prices drop nearly 2%.
