More on CMHC's New Secondary Rental Market Surveys and Centres Covered
CMHC's Fall Rental Market Survey, which covers row and apartment structures with 3 or more units, has been expanded to include additional types of rental accommodation referred to as the Secondary Rental Market, (SRM), in selected centres.
The expanded coverage was achieved through the addition of three new surveys, which were the result of extensive research on alternative methodologies and pilot testing of survey instruments.
- A Condominium Apartment Vacancy Survey to obtain vacancy information from property managers and owners of apartment condominiums.
- A Condominium Apartment Resident Rent Survey to obtain rent information from residents of apartment condominiums.
- A Household Survey to collect rent information for single, semi-detached, duplex and accessory suites or secondary apartments units in the SRM.
Where Will the Surveys be Introduced and When?
Both annual Condominium Surveys were completed in late Fall 2006 in Québec, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
The annual SRM Household Survey was introduced in Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver in the Fall of 2006 will be extended to St. John's, Halifax, Québec, Ottawa, Barrie, Calgary, Edmonton, Abbotsford and Kelowna in September 2007.
