In this episode of Bamboo, we break down the latest numbers and—more importantly—what you can actually do with them.
With the Bank of Canada’s recent 0.25% rate cut will this stir up activity in the housing market? If so, how will that ripple into the rental market? Will we start seeing rents climb again, or is this just a blip?
We’ll dive into:

The latest rent stats: one-bedrooms have dropped to $2,171, with Surrey/White Rock seeing a sharp 11.4% year-over-year decline.
What’s really behind falling rents? Immigration slowdowns? Purpose-built rental inventory? Condo flippers becoming reluctant landlords? All the above?
The 2026 rent increase cap of 2.3%—should you raise rents now, later, or wait it out?
This week’s Mail Bag: Who pays move-in fees? We unpack real-life examples of buildings pushing massive fees to deter rentals—and how you can offset costs to attract quality tenants.
