Renting out a home in Brampton: Residential Rental Licensing
Brampton requires landlords with one to four units intended for rental to hold a Residential Rental Licence. From January 1, 2026 the program covers the whole city, adding wards 2, 6, 8, 9 and 10 to the original wards 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7. Before a licence is issued, new and renewing landlords complete an online module on the City's rental rules and show a certificate of liability insurance of at least $2 million. Applications and renewals are free, and fines apply to renting without a licence. Rental income also belongs on your income tax return, and we can help you report it.
