Airbnb management in Brampton, built around your home

Brampton requires a short-term rental licence, and the rental must be all or part of your principal residence for stays of under 28 consecutive days. The City says an investment property can no longer be operated as a short-term rental. A host may rent no more than 180 nights in a calendar year, and no more than three bedrooms can be rented individually.

Licences renew each year on 30 September. The by-law fee rises with inflation every January, so confirm the current amount with the City. Since April 2026, administrative penalties of $500, $750 and $1,000 apply to operating without a licence, renting somewhere other than your principal residence and exceeding 180 nights.

• Your licence number. Show it in advertisements, invoices and receipts, and post the licence at the property.
• A guest package. Include a host or emergency contact available 24 hours a day, a floor plan, the fire safety plan, the occupancy limit, parking instructions and the complaint procedure.
• Occupancy. The by-law allows a guest for each 14 m² of habitable floor area and sets minimum bedroom sizes.
• Insurance. The licence calls for general liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence.
• Records. Keep them for six years.
• No agents for unlicensed rentals. The by-law stops anyone acting as agent for a short-term rental without a licence, so the licence comes before any listing or management work.
• Accommodation tax. Brampton's 4% Municipal Accommodation Tax applies to stays of 30 days or less, and the tax by-law counts both hosts and agents as providers.
• Inspections. The City says it does not require inspections at this time, but every application includes a declaration that the home complies with the Fire Code.
