rent fairness
What's a fair rent for a 1BR in Kits or Point Grey?
Kitsilano 1BR median asking rent runs $2,400–$2,650 in 2026; Point Grey is similar to slightly higher ($2,500–$2,800). Below $2,200 is below-market and worth grabbing fast. Above $2,900 is overpriced unless it has parking + in-suite laundry + AC.
What your landlord didn’t say
Listing platforms inflate the median by leaving expired listings active and weighting toward newer units. Real-occupied data (rent payments going through) sits 8–12% below listing medians. Use the listing as a ceiling, then ask the landlord what the previous tenant paid.
