The City of Waterloo wants your ideas and suggestions to inform rental licensing regulations. The goal is to enhance tenant safety and the livability of rental units in high, mid and low-rise long-term rentals, as well as short-term rentals.
Housing priorities have changed since the regulation was established in 2012 and last reviewed in 2017. It was originally created to ensure safety and habitability, and primarily focused on low-rise rentals. With increased growth and an evolving housing landscape, updates to rental regulations will benefit landlords and tenants. The review is a proactive approach to addressing housing needs, affordability concerns, safety and the changing dynamics of the rental market - all while balancing the needs of tenants and property owners.
Feedback opportunities: There are currently no open feedback opportunities for this project.
