Based on data from <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/rentals.ca\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rentals.ca<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, approximately one in five listings is offering some sort of incentive to prospective renters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>New Builds in GTHA\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to recently released reports from Urbanation for Q1-2026, incentives have become prevalent for newly-completed purpose-built rental units in the GTHA, which are facing higher vacancy rates and more challenging lease-up conditions as they compete with a surge in supply from the secondary condo rental market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Q1, a 66% share of projects offered incentives, up from a 62% share a year ago and a 32% share two years ago. The most common incentive offered in Q1 was two months\u2019 free rent, at a 47% share of projects, up from 32% in 2025 as building managers added an extra month to their incentive packages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other frequently-offered incentives included a cash move-in bonus (17%), parking or storage locker included (9%), 1.5 months of free rent (6%), three months of free rent (4%), and internet included (4%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5351 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_1-2-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_1-2-980x612.png 980w, https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_1-2-480x300.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the average unit, incentives reduced the effective face rent by 13%, or $379 per month. This was an increase from the average incentive discount of $292 in 2025 and $163 in 2024. When the market was at its peak in 2023, the average incentive discount from asking rent was only 2%, or $76 per month. On a per-square-foot basis, face rents averaged $4.05 psf in Q1, while net rents after incentives were $3.52 psf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5354 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_2-1024x636.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_2-980x609.png 980w, https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_2-480x298.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ottawa Incentives Heat Up as Vacancy Rises<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Ottawa rental market, the vacancy rate in stabilized buildings reached 3.2% in Q1, double the rate of two years ago. While purpose-built rents remained relatively stable at $3.28 per square foot, incentive-adjusted rents fell to $2.91 per square foot, an 11.4% discount from the asking price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like in the GTHA, two free months of rent became the most common type of rental incentive in Q1-2026, with one month of free rent a close second, followed by three months of rent included. Rental incentives brought average face rents down the most in Gloucester (-16.5%), Britannia\/Carlingwood (-14.5%) and Carlington\/Iris (-14.4%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5356 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_3-1024x605.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_3-980x579.png 980w, https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/chart_3-480x284.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5359 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ottawa-rent-incentives-by-type.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"583\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the rental market continues to see more supply and higher vacancy rates, move-in incentives have played an increasingly important role in the leasing process. For renters looking to move, the prevalence of richer incentives, such as two months of free rent, represents a significant opportunity. For property managers, incentives are an important tool for completing lease-up, competing with other rental projects and secondary condo rentals, and retaining tenants over the near term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a new rental and want to see what rental incentives look like in your area, try using the \u201cPromotions\u201d filter at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/rentals.ca\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rentals.ca<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which shows properties offering move-in incentives and bonuses for new tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5357\" src=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-105357-1024x288.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-105357-980x276.png 980w, https:\/\/rentals.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Screenshot-2026-05-28-105357-480x135.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As rents decrease and vacancy increases in Canada with population declines and more rental supply coming to market, move-in incentives have become a key factor for renters searching for a new home and property owners looking to attract tenants.
