The Whitby rental market

Downtown Whitby has century houses, storefronts with apartments above and a handful of older rental buildings around Brock and Dundas Streets. Port Whitby, near the harbour and Whitby GO, has townhouses and newer condo and rental buildings. Blue Grass Meadows, Lynde Creek and Pringle Creek are 1970s–90s family subdivisions; Williamsburg, Rolling Acres and Taunton North are newer. Brooklin, the old village north of the 407, is surrounded by new subdivisions. Many of these houses carry basement suites. Tenants include public-sector staff, workers at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences and students at Durham College's Whitby campus. On the commercial side, the industrial area along Champlain Avenue and Hopkins Street sits between the 401 and the lake.

Apartment buildings & commercial property in Whitby

Whitby's older rental apartments are mostly three- and four-storey walk-ups around Brock Street and Dundas Street downtown, with no elevator and no on-site staff. Newer rental and condo buildings stand to the south toward Whitby GO and Port Whitby near the harbour, where the station area is planned for more housing. Tenants include public-sector staff at the Durham Region headquarters on Rossland Road, workers at Ontario Shores and Lakeridge Health Whitby, and Durham College students. Industrial property sits south of Highway 401 in the Thickson Road, Champlain Avenue and Hopkins Street areas, where multi-bay and freestanding buildings house manufacturers, distributors and trades. Further north, the Highway 412 and 407 corridor is opening new employment land near Brooklin. Downtown Whitby's BIA area holds heritage storefronts, offices and restaurants, and Baldwin Street in Brooklin is a heritage conservation district. Big-box and neighbourhood plazas line Thickson Road and Taunton Road.

Local rules, handled

Whitby passed an Additional Dwelling Unit Registration By-law (By-law 8156-25), so ADUs must be registered with Town By-law Services. Owners who took the Town's ADU incentive, funded through the Housing Accelerator Fund, must register by March 31, 2027 or repay it. ADUs are allowed in certain detached and semi-detached homes, subject to zoning and the Building and Fire Codes. Whitby and Pickering also share an ADU design catalogue. Durham Region provides water, transit and social housing; the Town handles zoning, permits and property standards.

Across Ontario, the Residential Tenancies Act and the Ontario Standard Lease apply to most residential tenancies, and the rent increase guideline for units covered by rent control is 2.1% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027. How the guideline works →
