Cities in Canada have newer and older districts, usually referred to as neighborhoods. Housing prices and rents vary with location. They could be several times higher in centrally located neighborhoods or areas with high concentrations of businesses and administrative buildings.
The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) is Canada’s national housing agency. CMHC’s official website (www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca) provides useful information on renting in Canada, including fact sheets and sample letters.
