Housing in Vancouver ain’t cheap – especially rentals. In fact, renters in Metro Vancouver are now spending more than half of their monthly income on rent, according to a recent report. And that’s not surprising giving the average rent for a one-bedroom is now $2,574 in Vancouver. Yikes. If you are looking for something below average price, here are some of the cheapest available apartments in Vancouver right now, courtesy of rentals.ca.
