The City of Brampton's guide for tenants in the private rental market, paired with its landlord guide. It quotes how the Residential Tenancies Act defines a tenant, describes joint tenancies, tenancies in common and rooming houses, then covers the Ontario standard lease, tenant selection, lease renewals, rent increases, moving out, evictions, a landlord's entry, subletting and unauthorized occupants. Maintenance sections run from garbage and parking to emergency repairs, and a fire safety section covers alarms, exhaust fans, garages, escape planning, kitchens and lithium-ion batteries.
