About renting in Whitby
Whitby is the Durham Region town between Ajax and Oshawa, and one of the few places in the eastern GTA where a three-bedroom apartment still lists under $2,400. The rental supply is small because most of Whitby is detached housing, so what appears on GottaRent tends to be in a handful of managed communities. The current listings are at White Oaks Court, a low-rise rental community in West Lynde off Dundas Street West, about two kilometres from Whitby GO, with one-, two- and three-bedroom units and on-site management.
Whitby renters are mostly families and people who work in Durham Region: Lakeridge Health, the school boards, Durham College and Ontario Tech in Oshawa, and the employers along the 401. Whitby GO on the Lakeshore East line is about 50 minutes to Union, and Durham Region Transit runs buses along Dundas Street and Brock Street to the station. The 401, 412 and 407 all pass through the town.
Because so few units come up, it is worth checking the neighbouring pages: Oshawa next door has the largest supply in Durham and lower rents, and Scarborough is the nearest part of Toronto with a comparable stock of older rental towers.

Whitby rents sit between Oshawa and Scarborough: about $150 more than Oshawa for a one-bedroom and $300 less than Scarborough. Ontario's annual guideline (2.1% for 2026) applies to buildings first occupied before November 2018, which includes the community listed here. Parking is included. Ask which utilities are included, as low-rise communities often bill hydro to the unit.
Renter tips for Whitby
What to know about renting in Whitby.
Set an alert rather than refreshing
Whitby units appear a few at a time and rent quickly to people already on a waiting list. Save the search and apply the same day something appears; there is rarely a second unit next week.
Three-bedrooms here are cheaper than two-bedrooms in Toronto
A family-sized apartment in Whitby lists for less than a two-bedroom in most of Toronto. If you can accept the GO commute, the extra bedroom is the best value in the eastern GTA.
Budget the GO fare
Whitby to Union is a real monthly cost on PRESTO, plus the bus or parking at the station. For a couple both commuting to Toronto, the fare can eat most of the rent saving over Scarborough; for one commuter and one local job, it usually does not.
Low-rise communities: ask about laundry and storage
Whitby's rental communities are mostly walk-ups and townhouse-style buildings. Ask whether laundry is in-suite or shared, and whether there is a locker; both vary building to building.
Use the Ontario standard lease
Every residential lease in Ontario since 2018 must be on the standard form. Larger managed communities use it; if you rent from an individual in Whitby and are handed something else, ask for the standard lease.
