🗳️ Cast Your Vote: Should We Pursue Legal Action Against the Rental License's Draconian Approach?
Thanks for your interest.
Voting has been closed now.
The Rental Registration License (RRL) is imposing unfair restrictions on small landlords and creating unnecessary barriers. We believe this approach is not only harsh but also detrimental to our community’s housing landscape.
We want to hear from you! Should we all take legal action against this unjust policy? Your voice matters—let’s stand together for what’s right.
If you support this cause, please consider contributing to help cover the legal costs. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to justice.
Key Issues with RRL:
- Targeting Small Landlords: RRL unfairly targets small landlords while exempting corporate rentals and condominiums. City Hall is lobbying for corporate interests over community needs. Big fines will be imposed, once enrolled in RRL. It’s a scam by corrupt politicians to benefit corporate rentals.
- Ineffective Against Illegal Units: Despite claims, RRL only targets legal unit owners, leaving illegal unit issues unaddressed. City will fine only law abiding landlords, even for the tenants fault or overcrowding caused with tenants without landlords consent or knowledge.
- Contradicting RTA Guidelines: The program imposes fines on landlords for tenant actions beyond their control, such as overcrowding without consent and forced inspections without proper notice.
- Misleading Information: The Mayor claims legal unit owners need not worry or pay fees for the license. This is false – RRL requires a $300 yearly fee for maintaining the license.
- Discriminatory Practices: Regulations on room sharing and occupancy limits may violate the Ontario Human Rights Code.
- Market Impact: The program could reduce available rental units, increase rents, and discourage new home buyers in Brampton.
- Privacy and Compliance Issues: Random inspections without proper notice infringe on tenant privacy and conflict with existing laws.
- Unable to Transfer Water Bill on Tenant: Unlike other cities, Region of Peel does not allow to transfer water bill on Tenants name. In case tenant does not pay, city put water bill in property taxes.
