None of them. 'price' is not used when referring to rent or rental of an apartment as it is not being 'sold'.

I would have definately agreed with David L. on this, I am very surprised about the British use of "rental price", I think it must be relatively recent.

It is not an English usage. The cost of the rent is a term used in calculating personal budgets. Rental companies will simple say rent.

Any search on the net can net you the phrase you are looking for.

It's really confusing... Most of these expressions can be abundantly found on the web. I literally bumped into "rental price" when I was searching for "rental". Honestly I found it odd but, as a foreigner, I cannot distinguish the genuine English from the fake one. I am happy to know that most of them would be understood in Canada but I would like to know if ''price for the rent of an apartment'' and ''price for an apartment rent'' would be acceptable in any country where people speak English.
Also, could I just say "how much is the rent for the apartment"?
Thanks.
