An online Market Rent survey has been launched for landlords and tenants in Muskoka.

- Amount of rent you pay per month;
- Household composition (how many adults & children living in the unit); and
- What factors are most important to you when choosing a place to live (not mandatory).
The survey should take under 5 minutes to complete. Personal information (such as name, unit address, or contact information) is not requested or collected.
