For landlords and property managers in Brampton
Many Brampton landlords live upstairs from their tenant, in a two-unit house with a basement suite. Others manage a few townhouses or condos. The glass work comes as a list: a cracked pane, a slider that won't lock, a screen that keeps jumping the track. We are a free referral service. We pass the list to an independent local glass pro who does rental work, and follow up so it doesn't go quiet.
- One request for several units
- Tenant access set out in the request
- Practical help, not compliance advice
Between tenants
Unit-turnover checklist: glass, screens, locks, patio rollers, egress windows
Walk the empty unit with this list and send everything in one request.
Glass
Cracks, edge chips, and fog between the panes. See broken window glass.
Screens
Tears, bent frames and screens that fall out; see window screens.
Locks and rollers
Sliders and patio doors that won't lock or drag on worn rollers. Usually parts, not new doors.
Basement bedroom windows
Open each one fully. It should move without force and have nothing blocking it outside. Then put the screen back.
Rental licensing
Rental licensing went city-wide in 2026: what it means day to day
Brampton's Residential Rental Licensing program for homes with one to four rental units has covered every ward since 1 January 2026. The City's announcement sets out what landlords need, including an online module and liability insurance; check it for current rules.
Day to day, the practical part is simple: keep the unit in working order and fix things when tenants report them. We don't give licensing advice, and we can't say what an inspection looks at. The City can.
Broken glass
Broken glass and tenant safety: who to call and how fast
When a tenant reports broken glass, move it to the top of the list.
Make it safe
Ask the tenant to keep children and pets away and leave loose pieces alone.
Cover the opening
If it's open to the weather or can't lock, arrange a board-up.
Book the glass
Send a photo and rough size. The pro measures; new glass is made to order.
Basement units
Basement units: egress windows and registered second units
The City allows up to three units on a lot, and second and third units must be registered with the City. Registration drawings show the egress and exit windows. Adding a unit or enlarging a bedroom window? See our basement window page and the guide to basement-unit window requirements. The City decides what your unit needs.
Townhouses and condos
Townhouse and condo portfolios
In a condo townhouse, windows and doors may be common elements. Permit work in a registered condo's common elements needs a Notice of Permission to Construct signed by the condominium corporation (see the City's openings permit package). Check with the board before any glass is ordered.
Several jobs
Sending several jobs at once
One request can cover several units or addresses, and plaza units too; see commercial glass. Include:
- Each address and unit, with what needs doing
- A photo of each problem and rough sizes
- Whether the unit is empty or tenanted
- Who arranges access, and the tenant's preferred times
Ask for a written, itemized quote that lists each unit separately.
Same house
Owner-landlord in the same house: access and notice
Living upstairs makes access easy, but the basement unit is still your tenant's home. Agree a time in writing, follow the notice rules that apply to your tenancy, and tell the pro who will open the door. This isn't legal advice.
The pro works in a shared home, so ask for a clear arrival window and a tidy finish.
