Regional Councillor Brampton Wards 1 & 5

More landlord licensing coming to Brampton communities in 2026

Brampton City Council approved an expansion of its Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) program to nearly all wards through 2028. The move introduces a new Rental Compliance Unit and Certified Rental Registry to support enforcement and legal compliance. Non-registered landlords face fines up to $1,200, as the city tackles over 830 active investigations and a surge in illegal rental units. Councillor Rowena Santos says the reforms respond to resident concerns and aim to balance accountability with education for landlords.
