Brampton investor toolkit
Population and rent data, the rules that affect landlords, and calculators for cash flow, cap rate, mortgage payments and land transfer tax.
Population & rents
Population, census years + 2051 plan
Statistics Canada census 1996–2021; 2051: City of Brampton plan (about 1 million, shown faded).
Average rent by unit size (CMHC, Oct 2025)
CMHC Rental Market Survey, Brampton purpose-built rentals. Vacancy 4.3%. Asking rents for newly listed units run higher (Rentals.ca, Dec 2025: 1-bed $1,886, 2-bed $2,205).
Rental cash flow & cap rate
Defaults use the August 2026 average Brampton condo apartment price and CMHC's average 2-bed rent. The rate and costs are examples only: plug in your own quote, tax bill and fees. CMHC insurance is added automatically under 20% down.
Mortgage payment & closing costs
Canadian mortgages compound semi-annually; this calculator does too. Brampton has no municipal land transfer tax (only Toronto does); Ontario's provincial tax applies. Confirm figures with your lender and lawyer.
What landlords and buyers need to know
Since January 1, 2026 every Brampton landlord renting a property with 1 to 4 units needs a free City rental licence, $2 million liability insurance and an online landlord course. Fines for renting without one are $750, $1,250 and $1,500.
