Brampton Landlords Fined $83,500 as Mayor Pledges to Eliminate ‘Slum Conditions’

Brampton’s Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) program has improved safety and compliance for over half of the city’s worst rental units, with 46 previously problematic properties now meeting fire and building codes. The program has issued over 600 penalties, totaling $83,500 in fines, targeting landlords renting four or fewer units. Despite protests from landlords, Mayor Patrick Brown and Councillor Rowena Santos stress the importance of addressing rental safety issues. The city continues to push for stricter regulations, with penalties rising for unlicensed units.
