The average renter in Brampton paid over 4 per cent more for lodging last month than they did during the same time last year.

The average price for rental units across the Greater Toronto Area have spiked in nearly every municipality or community over the last year, according to the latest Bullpen Research & Consulting and TorontoRentals.com Toronto GTA Rent Report.

Numbers show the average price of a rental in Brampton was $1,950 per month as of May of this year, making for a year-over-year increase of 4.4 per cent.

While that jump in annual prices may make a dent in Bramptonian’s wallets, it’s nothing compared to the nearly 13 per cent jump for the same time period in neighbouring Mississauga or 17 per cent in Etobicoke.

Toronto saw the biggest year-over-year increase at 19.8 per cent, while Burlington trailed only slightly behind at 18.3.
