The best condos to rent in Brampton for 2027 are Renaissance, Symphony, Rhythm, Stella and Daniels MPV. A Brampton one-bedroom condo leased for an average of $2,052 a month and a two-bedroom for $2,408 in Q2 2026, according to TRREB, about $600 less than the GTA-wide two-bedroom average.
This guide is for anyone looking to rent a condo in Brampton in 2027, from students and new arrivals to couples who want to stop sharing a house. You get my five buildings worth renting in, what each one is like for a tenant, what Brampton condos actually lease for, and the checks that protect you before you sign.
How did I pick the best condos to rent in Brampton?
Brampton has far fewer condo towers than Mississauga or Toronto, and most of them sit in two places: the Queen Street corridor through downtown and the new Mount Pleasant community in the northwest. I compared buildings on transit access, suite sizes, what the condo fee covers (which shapes what your rent includes), building age, and whether units fall under Ontario’s rent increase guideline.
This is my own shortlist, not a paid ranking. I do not publish rents for single suites, because one listing can be far from the market.
| # | Building | Address | Built | Why renters like it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Renaissance | 9 George St N | 2011 | Downtown tower with a pool and a wide range of suite sizes |
| 2 | Symphony | 145 Queen St E / 15 Lynch St | 2023 | Newer suites with a Züm stop at the door |
| 3 | Rhythm | 215 Queen St E | 2010 | Concierge building on Queen with heat and water in the fee |
| 4 | Stella Condos | 225 Malta Ave | 2021 | Newer tower near Main and Steeles with a grocery store close by |
| 5 | Daniels MPV | 10 Lagerfeld Dr | 2024 | Mid-rise next to Mount Pleasant GO |

1. Renaissance, downtown Brampton
What it is like: Renaissance is a 27-storey tower near Queen Street West and Main Street South, completed in 2011 by Alterra. It has 302 suites from about 529 to 1,970 square feet, so you can find anything from a one-bedroom to a large two-plus-den or penthouse. The listing page shows a gym, pool, concierge, party room, media room and sauna.
Getting around: You are in the middle of downtown Brampton, with a bus stop steps from the door and downtown shops and restaurants close by.
Who it suits: Renters who want a walkable downtown base and the option of a bigger suite than most Brampton condos offer.
What to check: The building was registered in 2011, so units are covered by the rent increase guideline of 1.9% for 2027. Ask which utilities are in your rent, because they vary by suite.
2. Symphony, Queen Street East
What it is like: Symphony is an Inzola Group tower at Queen Street East and Centre Street, with a second address at 15 Lynch Street. Its listing page shows 25 floors, 168 suites from about 616 to 1,037 square feet, and a condominium registered in December 2023. Recent listings were mostly one-plus-dens and two-bedrooms. Amenities listed include a gym, party room and barbecues.
Getting around: The Centre Street stop for the Züm Queen route is steps away, along with the regular Queen bus.
Who it suits: Commuters who ride transit along Queen Street and want a newer two-bedroom.
What to check: Units first occupied after 15 November 2018 are exempt from the rent increase guideline. In a 2023 building, expect your landlord to have that flexibility at renewal, and negotiate the length of your lease with that in mind.
3. Rhythm, Queen Street East
What it is like: Mattamy Homes completed Rhythm in 2010. It is a 22-storey tower at Queen Street East and Beech Street with 240 suites from about 471 to 845 square feet. The amenity list is long for its size: gym, concierge, security, party room, guest suites, media room and games room. The condo fee covers heat, water and air conditioning.
Getting around: Rhythm sits on the same Queen Street East corridor as Symphony, a short distance farther east, so the same Queen Street bus routes serve it.
Who it suits: Singles and couples who want a staffed lobby and lower utility bills.
What to check: Suites top out around 845 square feet, so this is not a family building. Because heat and water are in the owner’s fee, they should be included in your rent. Confirm that in the lease, and ask whether hydro is separately metered.
Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
4. Stella Condos, Main Street South
What it is like: Stella is a 21-storey tower by i2 Developments at 225 Malta Avenue, near Main Street South and Steeles Avenue. It has 299 suites from about 521 to 842 square feet with nine-foot ceilings. Recent listings were mostly one-plus-dens and two-bedrooms.
Getting around: A bus stop at Hurontario Street and Sir Lou Drive is about a four-minute walk, and a Real Canadian Superstore is about three minutes on foot, according to its listing page.
Who it suits: Renters who work in south Brampton or Mississauga and want everyday shopping within walking distance.
What to check: The listing page dates the building to 2021, which means most units are likely exempt from the guideline. Ask about parking and whether a locker is included, since newer suites are often sold without one.
5. Daniels MPV, Mount Pleasant
What it is like: Daniels MPV is part of the Daniels Corporation’s community in Mount Pleasant Village in northwest Brampton. The building at 10 Lagerfeld Drive has six floors and 142 suites, with its condominium registered in June 2024. Recent listings ranged from one-bedrooms to two-bedrooms of about 500 to 899 square feet.
Getting around: The developer describes the community as next to Mount Pleasant GO station. By my measurement on OpenStreetMap, Lagerfeld Drive is roughly 240 metres from the station.
Who it suits: GO train commuters heading to Toronto, and renters who prefer a quieter mid-rise in a newer neighbourhood.
What to check: Brand-new buildings often have deficiency work and stricter move-in booking. Units are exempt from the rent increase guideline, so ask the landlord how they plan to handle renewals.
How much does it cost to rent a condo in Brampton?
TRREB’s Rental Market Report for the second quarter of 2026 is the latest quarterly lease data. When I checked trreb.ca on 10 November 2026, the third-quarter report had not been posted.
| Condo apartments, Q2 2026 | 1-bedroom | 2-bedroom | 3-bedroom | Units leased |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brampton | $2,052 | $2,408 | $2,800 (10 leases) | 193 |
| Peel Region | $2,177 | $2,686 | $3,195 | 2,050 |
| All TRREB areas | $2,273 | $3,013 | $3,779 | 21,251 |
Source: TRREB Rental Market Report, Q2 2026, average lease rates for condo apartments leased through MLS. Brampton’s sample is small, so a few leases can move the averages.
A two-bedroom condo in Brampton leased for about $280 a month less than the Peel average and about $600 less than the GTA-wide average. Brampton had 297 condo apartments listed for rent in the quarter and 193 leased, so tenants had some room to negotiate. My Brampton rent guide covers basements, townhouses and houses.
Purpose-built rentals tell a similar story. CMHC’s October 2025 survey found Brampton’s apartment vacancy rate at 4.4%, up from 2.9% a year earlier. A vacant two-bedroom averaged $2,331, compared with $2,032 across all two-bedrooms, which include long-time tenants paying older rents.
Is it better to rent or buy a condo in Brampton in 2027?
Brampton condo prices have dropped. The median condo apartment sold for $415,000 from January to October 2026, down 12.6% from the same period of 2025, and units took an average of 53 days to sell (TRREB MLS data via REALM). That is the longest selling time of any home type in the city.
With condo prices down and plenty of units for rent, 2027 is a good year to be a Brampton tenant. You can negotiate, and you are not under pressure to buy. If you expect to stay put for five years or more, also look at buying, because the gap between rent and ownership costs has narrowed as prices fell. My picks of the best condos to buy in Brampton are a good starting point if you want to compare.
What should you check before you sign a condo lease in Brampton?
- Get the Ontario standard lease. It is required for most residential tenancies. Section 5 lists what is included in the rent, such as parking, heat, hydro and water.
- Pay only a lawful deposit. Under the Residential Tenancies Act, the only security deposit allowed is a rent deposit of no more than one month’s rent, used for your last month. A refundable key or fob deposit is fine. A damage deposit is not.
- Ask whether the unit is rent controlled. The 2027 guideline is 1.9%, but units first occupied after 15 November 2018 are exempt. My 2027 rent increase guideline explainer walks through how it works.
- Follow the building’s rules. A no-pet clause in a lease is void, but under the Condominium Act everyone living in a condo must follow the declaration and rules. See my guide to condo rules on pets, smoking and short-term rentals.
- Sort out tenant insurance. Many landlords ask for it in the lease. My guide to what tenant insurance covers in Ontario explains what to buy.
Some listings advertise a “room in a condo” or ask for several months of rent upfront. A landlord cannot require more than one month as a deposit. If you are asked for cash before a viewing, or the person cannot show they own or manage the unit, walk away.
What to do next
- Choose your area first: downtown and Queen Street for transit, Main and Steeles for shopping, Mount Pleasant for the GO train.
- Ask each landlord which utilities are included and whether the unit is exempt from the rent increase guideline.
- Compare any rent you are quoted with the TRREB averages above before you make an offer to lease.
- Read the standard lease in full, pay no more than a one-month rent deposit and keep every receipt.
- If you are thinking about buying instead, get a pre-approval and compare the monthly cost against your rent.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a condo in Brampton in 2027?
A one-bedroom condo in Brampton leased for an average of $2,052 a month and a two-bedroom for $2,408 in the second quarter of 2026, according to TRREB’s Rental Market Report, the latest quarterly data heading into 2027. Brampton had 193 condo leases in that quarter. Three-bedroom condos are rare, with ten leases averaging $2,800.
Is renting a condo in Brampton cheaper than in Mississauga?
Yes, slightly. In the second quarter of 2026, a two-bedroom condo leased for an average of $2,408 in Brampton and $2,713 in Mississauga, according to TRREB. That is about $300 a month less in Brampton. Mississauga has many more condo towers, so it offers more choice, while Brampton’s supply is concentrated downtown and in Mount Pleasant.
Which Brampton condos are near a GO station?
Daniels MPV at 10 Lagerfeld Drive is in the Mount Pleasant Village community, which the developer describes as next to Mount Pleasant GO station. By OpenStreetMap measurement, Lagerfeld Drive is about 240 metres from the station. Downtown Brampton condos on Queen Street are closer to the Züm Queen rapid bus than to the GO line.
Are new condos in Brampton rent controlled?
No. Rental units first occupied for residential purposes after 15 November 2018 are exempt from Ontario’s rent increase guideline. In Brampton, that covers most suites in newer buildings such as Symphony, Stella and Daniels MPV. Landlords must still wait 12 months between increases and give at least 90 days’ written notice.
What is the vacancy rate in Brampton?
CMHC measured a 4.4% vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments in Brampton in October 2025, up from 2.9% a year earlier. That gives tenants more choice than in most of the GTA. Condo rentals are a separate market, and TRREB recorded 297 Brampton condo apartments listed for rent in the second quarter of 2026, with 193 leased.
How much deposit can a landlord ask for on a Brampton condo?
A landlord in Ontario can ask for a rent deposit of no more than one month’s rent, which must be applied to the last month of the tenancy. A refundable key or fob deposit is also allowed. Damage deposits and demands for several months of rent as a security deposit are not permitted under the Residential Tenancies Act.
Do Brampton condo rentals include utilities?
Sometimes. It depends on what the owner’s condo fee covers. At Rhythm on Queen Street East, the fee includes heat, water and air conditioning, so a lease there often includes them. Newer Brampton buildings often meter hydro separately. Check section 5 of the Ontario standard lease, which lists every service included in your rent, before you sign.
What is the best area in Brampton to rent a condo?
It depends on how you get around. Downtown Brampton and the Queen Street corridor, home to Renaissance, Symphony and Rhythm, suit transit riders using Züm Queen. Main Street South near Steeles, where Stella sits, suits people working in Mississauga. Mount Pleasant suits GO train commuters heading toward Toronto.
Are Brampton condo prices going down in 2026?
Yes. The median Brampton condo apartment sold for $415,000 from January to October 2026, down 12.6% from the same period of 2025, according to TRREB MLS data via REALM. Condos took an average of 53 days to sell. Lower prices mean some renters can now compare the cost of buying against their rent.
