craigslist rental sample

The price to rent ratio remains elevated in Calgary and Edmonton. I suspect this is due to an irrational negative attitude toward renting in Alberta and very low interest rates. However, I do think that some part of the price difference between Alberta and the US is a real difference between the cost to rent (and build). Its simply more expensive to rent in Calgary and Edmonton than Phoenix and because of this prices should be comparatively higher.
