Brampton Considers Occupancy Limits to Curb Excessive Subletting

Brampton is proposing additional rental regulations, including city-wide bans on new basement suites and occupancy limits, to address illegal rentals and overcrowding. The move follows updates to the Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) pilot program, which has issued over $83,500 in fines. Councillor Rowena Santos highlighted the exploitation of tenants, prompting council to explore further safety measures. A report on enforcing these new rules will be presented to council in the coming months.
