Why Should You Join?
 

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.
  • Ineffective Against Illegal Units: Despite claims, RRL only targets legal unit owners, leaving illegal unit issues unaddressed. Councillors are spreading disinformation for vote bank politics by making happy to specific group only, who themselves will not even apply of license. One of the Councillor, accepted this on media.  
    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.
  • Legal Conflicts: RRL contradicts the Residential Tenancies Act, leading to potential legal issues regarding eviction and tenant compliance.
    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.

Your Presence Matters:

Thanks to your support in past protests, we've already achieved two significant victories. Now, we need your presence more than ever to push back against this draconian approach by our short-sighted council. Small landlords play a vital role in providing safe, affordable housing, and it's crucial we stand united.

Let's show solidarity and protect the interests of landlords, tenants, and the community as a whole.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we can make a difference!
