City of Brampton Intensifies Efforts to Ensure Safety Through Residential Rental Licensing and Parking Enforcement

Brampton is cracking down on rental noncompliance and illegal parking, prioritizing public safety over revenue. The Residential Rental Licensing (RRL) program now covers 9,000 rental units, with landlords offered a waived $300 registration fee and a free smoke alarm. Mayor Patrick Brown emphasized the importance of preventing unsafe secondary suites, while Councillor Rowena Santos highlighted the hiring of 40 new bylaw staff to address enforcement gaps. Parking fines for repeat offences have increased by 50% to deter violations. These measures aim to create a safer and more livable city.
