Sharing a place in Brampton
No standalone Brampton bedroom average in the 2025 RMR. Preload is Toronto CMA sitting rent. Do not treat that as a Queen Street walk-up quote. Ontario still bans damage deposits; the last-month deposit is one full month of the lease rent, split however you agree.
Sitting vs asking, by bedroom
Sitting is CMHC October 2025 purpose-built. Asking is a vacant listing print where we have one. Turnover 2-bed in the 2025 RMR was $2,547.

Lease and last month's rent
Ontario's standard form of lease says that if more than one tenant signs, each is responsible for all tenant obligations, including the full amount of rent. An equal / income / sqft split is a private deal. The landlord can collect the whole cheque from whoever is on page 1.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2-bedroom in Brampton?
CMHC's October 2025 purpose-built sitting average is $2,045. Sitting rent is what current tenants pay. Asking rent is what a new lease costs.
What is the fairest way to split rent?
Equal when rooms and incomes are close. Square footage when one bedroom is clearly larger. Income when paycheques differ by a lot. Hybrid (half equal, half by room) is the compromise that prices shared space separately from the ensuite.
Does the landlord care how we split it?
Usually no. Whoever is named on the lease owes the full rent. A roommate who is only an occupant has a contract with you, not with the landlord.
