Cambridge is one of Southwestern Ontario’s most balanced rental markets.
With a mix of manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and commuter tenants, Cambridge offers landlords steady demand and attractive entry pricing — but profitability depends on disciplined management and strong screening.
If you own a rental property in Cambridge, this guide covers what landlords search for most and what actually protects income, controls turnover, and reduces risk.
Rental demand in Cambridge is driven by:

As of December 2025, the Cambridge rental market has entered a period of stabilization. While average rents for apartments have seen a modest 2.7% decrease over the last year, now averaging $1,835/month, the demand for professional oversight is at an all-time high. With regional vacancy rates rising to 3.1%, landlords must shift from passive ownership to active asset management to maintain high-quality occupancy.
To rank competitively in 2025, property management must be hyper-local. We categorize Cambridge into distinct investment sub-zones based on recent 2025 performance data:
A critical update for 2025 is the City of Cambridge’s initiative to modernize its Property Standards By-law and Lot Maintenance By-laws.
Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo has one of Ontario's most tariff-exposed economies, particularly in the motor vehicle manufacturing sector. Economic weakness in 2025 has led to a drop in rental demand from international students, pushing the regional vacancy rate for purpose-built rentals to a multi-decade high of 4.1%.
To stay competitive, we utilize "filtering effect" strategies—where supply growth in mid-market units allows renters to move up the property ladder. We help landlords offer strategic incentives, such as "rent specials" or value-add improvements, to retain tenants who signed leases at peak 2021–2023 rates.
As we look toward 2026, the Cambridge rental market is projected to enter a "recovery and rebound" phase. While 2025 was defined by cooling demand and higher vacancy rates (peaking at 4.1% in the region), 2026 will see a resurgence in tenant mobility as mortgage rate stabilization allows more renters to transition into first-time homeownership.
For landlords, this transition creates a "Turnover Surge." While turnover can be expensive due to vacancy loss and marketing costs, it also presents the only opportunity in Ontario to reset rents to the current market rate. We help you prepare for this 2026 shift by:
In 2026, "Space-as-a-Service" (SPaaS) is becoming the standard for high-yield rentals. Modern Cambridge tenants—particularly the growing demographic of families with children (30.4% of the city’s population)—are prioritizing properties with tech-enabled amenities and sustainability features.
Cambridge’s population is growing faster than the provincial average (6.6%), yet it lags behind Kitchener and Waterloo in apartment density. This has created a massive demand for "Ground-Oriented" rentals—detached homes, semis, and row houses. With 72.6% of recent household growth driven by adults aged 65+, there is a unique 2026 opportunity to market high-end, accessible rentals to "downsizing" seniors who wish to remain in their neighborhoods but avoid the burdens of home maintenance.
The Ontario rent increase guideline is capped at 2.5% for 2025. This applies to most residential rental units occupied before November 15, 2018. Landlords must provide at least 90 days' written notice using the official Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) forms.
Effective October 24, 2025, all online LTB transactions require Multi-Factor Authentication for security. We manage all filings—including L1 (non-payment) and L2 (termination) applications—through the Tribunals Ontario Portal to ensure accuracy and speed.
The Committee handles appeals related to decisions made by Property Standards Officers. If your property is inspected and found non-compliant with local safety or occupancy standards, we represent you at these hearings to resolve issues without excessive fines.
As of late 2025, 3-bedroom apartments average $2,699/month, while detached houses for rent average approximately $2,374/month.
