Finding Housing in Jasper

To live in Jasper, you must meet Parks Canada's eligible residency requirements. 

Because we live in a National Park, it can be difficult to find housing. The 2024 Jasper Wildfire Complex has made this process even more challenging.

We understand that Jasperites are facing so much uncertainty, especially when it comes to housing. We are working hard with all levels of government to get funding to increase available options. 

For more information on temporary housing updates, please see the Housing Progress page.

Ongoing Monitoring of Rent Increases & Lease Changes


The Municipality of Jasper has been collecting information from tenants about changes in rental rates and lease terms, including restrictions on pets, occupancy limits, and family accommodations. While the response to our initial request was limited, we recognize the importance of monitoring these changes over time.

Moving forward, we will continue to accept submissions from residents who have experienced official rent increases or lease term changes. If you wish to share this information, please email copies of relevant communications to livinginjasper@jasper-alberta.ca.

Please note that this information is being collected for data purposes only, and no personal information will be shared publicly. 

Thank you for helping us gain a clearer picture of the rental landscape in Jasper.
