Rental Market Cooling But Students Struggle | Calgary News

The rental market is cooling—good news for many, with more housing and slightly lower rents, especially in one-bedroom units around $1,600. New construction has slowed but still offers more options than before. Yet students remain stuck: affordable, safe units are scarce, vacancy rates are low, and overcrowding or neglected repairs are common. Compounding the issue, student loan eligibility now includes parental and spousal income—even if they’re not contributing—which forces tough choices between rent, food, and textbooks. While supply is up, accessibility isn’t universal, especially for young scholars facing layered financial pressures.
