• Brampton will roll out the RRL program across all wards starting next year, following a unanimous council vote prompted by a deadly fire on Banas Way that killed four residents.
• Coun. Rowena Santos said the tragedy underscores widespread unsafe rental conditions, noting the property involved was outside the pilot zones.
• While some landlords call RRL a cash grab, the city says there is no fee for 2025–26, and the program is essential to enforce fire and building safety standards.
• Council expects significant staffing and resource increases for inspections as the city transitions from a limited pilot to a full citywide safety enforcement system.
