It might not come as a surprise to that many locals, but the average monthly rent in Richmond has risen once again.

Meanwhile, two-bedroom apartments in Richmond settled at $2,703.
This makes the City of Richmond the third most expensive Canadian city to rent in last month.
However, Vancouver still took the top spot for being the most expensive city to rent in that month, with the average monthly rent of a one-bedroom home inching higher towards $2,412 and a two-bedroom at $3,597.
