    The cost of housing is one of the key considerations in the cost of living in a country. Rental prices are dependant on the location, size, and quality of property.

    Rental accommodation is usually easy to find in Canada, although in city centres there is considerably less choice. Accommodation is usually let unfurnished and costs vary depending on the location. A two-bedroom apartment costs from C$500 to C$700 a month and a three-bedroom house costs from C$850 to C$1,600.

    Housing associations are also on the Internet and names can be found in Yellow Pages.

    Apartment Hunting in Montreal
    I am an owner renting my apartment downtown while I am away working for the UN overseas.
    I have been renting my flat for years and have loads of experiences.

    Be very careful about these ranges people are quoting/posting as advice for rent in Montreal. You may end up with a tiny flat with no furniture or no major appliances if you expect to pay less than $1700 for a 2 bedroom downtown or on the Plateau! Check the listings on the free rental websites below.

    The ranges below $1000 are often located far from the city centre, 30 min commute by public transport or tiny with no appliances or run down.

    The days of arrivng on July 1st to get a great apartment in Montreal are over. You can arrive any time of the year and find a fabulous apartment in the centre and outside.

    Try Craigslist.com (which has the most variety for Montreal and is FREE to use)

    I believe you must pay to use the Voir online - petits annonces

    Finding a flat in Montreal
    Good news ! The shortage of flats (apartments) is over and it is now a lot easier to rent apartments. Back to years 2003/2004, the occupation rate was close to 100%. Since then lots of buidings have been built outisde Montreal.

    As a result, the rents have now stabilized and you can expect to find one bedroom apartments for CAN $600 to 800 and two bedroom apartments for $700 to 1200.

    The Plateau and McGill Ghetto are the most expensive areas, which is the price of living close to everyting.

    Leases in Montreal are usually for one year and it is suggested to arrive by 1st July since the majority of leases end on this day. You can also arrive anytime during the year however the choice of apartments will be more limited.

    Ads for apartments are available on:

    http://homes.canada.com/montreal/browsecategory.aspx?id=3233
    http://www.moremontreal.com/apartments/

    The most comprehensive web site for ads is Voir.ca and it is recommended to sign-up for the newsletter to get the ads a couple of days before they are published in the newspaper.

    Good luck !
