Brampton’s Residential Rental Program: A Success in Protecting Renters – ‘More Than a Policy, It’s a Promise,’ Says Rowena Santos

Brampton’s Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) Pilot Program is successfully enhancing rental safety and quality of life by requiring landlords with one to four units in select wards to obtain licenses. Since its launch, the program has issued over 2,200 licenses, conducted 4,700 inspections, and imposed over $83,500 in fines. Key figures like Mayor Patrick Brown and Councillor Rowena Santos highlight the program’s positive impact on community safety. Looking ahead, a report will outline next steps, and landlords can benefit from a discounted registration fee until September 30, 2024.
