Ajax in numbers
What renting in Ajax looks like.
New leases start at the asking rent. CMHC’s averages include tenants who have stayed for years, so they run lower: that gap is why the rent is set with care every time a home turns over.

What should I fix before renting out my Ajax home?
Usually the basics: working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, safe stairs and railings, and appliances that work. Your rental review lists what we’d fix first and what it would add to the rent.
