Rent estimates for Scarborough

The estimated fair range for a 1 bedroom in Scarborough, Toronto is $1,700 to $2,200 per month. It combines public rental market survey data with 5 to 9 recent renter reports for this exact unit type and area. FairRent's neighbourhood adjustment for Scarborough is -18% compared with the Toronto baseline; that is an input to the estimate, not a measured difference across every rental home here. The snapshot table above shows every type of home and the evidence behind each one.

FairRent's neighbourhood adjustment: -18% compared with the city baseline. This is an input to the estimate. It is not a measured difference across every rental home in the area. Use this as a benchmark, not a final appraisal. Building age, condition, floor, and what is included (heat, parking, laundry) affect individual rents.

We combine public CMHC Rental Market Survey data, Rentals.ca market listing data, and anonymous renter submissions. CMHC data is comprehensive but lags. Listings show asking rents. Anonymous submissions show what renters report paying. The blend gets more accurate as more renters contribute.

We never ask for your name, email, phone number or exact address, and none of those are stored. A report holds your neighbourhood, unit type, monthly rent, whether you told us a move-in year, the city, and whether parking or utilities are included. Like any website, our hosting and analytics providers process technical data such as IP addresses to serve and measure the site; that data is never attached to a report. We publish only grouped figures and never one drawn from fewer than five reports. What we cannot promise is that identification is impossible: a person who already knew a great deal about your home might still recognise it in a small neighbourhood, and no anonymous dataset can rule that out.

No. We never display individual rent submissions publicly. We only show grouped data: ranges, medians, and confidence labels by neighbourhood and unit type. We do not publish a figure drawn from fewer than 5 submissions, and counts are shown as bands rather than exact numbers.

Estimates here combine public market data with what renters report. A report for this area and type of home is used only once there are 5 recent ones, so yours may sit unused until then. We never ask for your name, email or exact address. Scarborough has 20 to 49 recent rent submissions, and 2 of 5 types of home have enough of them to move the estimate. The rest come from public market data. The column above says which is which.

Renter reports feed in continuously and reports older than two years drop out, so the local part of this page moves on its own. The market survey figures behind it are reviewed by hand, most recently June 2026; there is no automatic monthly refresh, and we would rather say so than imply the number is fresher than it is. Where this page has a local report, its date is shown at the top.

When local submissions are limited, the estimate relies primarily on CMHC and Rentals.ca data adjusted for Scarborough. Confidence labels in the table make this clear. The more renters in Scarborough submit, the stronger the local benchmark gets.

No. FairRent provides market estimates for information only. Results are not professional appraisals, legal opinions, or official determinations. For rent disputes or formal proceedings, consult a licensed paralegal or your provincial tenant rights organization.
