TRREB attributed the increases to would-be first-time homebuyers putting off real estate purchases because of higher borrowing costs.
The board says their delay in buying homes has made rental demand strong and intensified competition for condo rentals.
TRREB also says there were 13,366 condo rental transactions in the third quarter, a 17.3 per cent decline compared to the same period last year.
