Stop the Proposed Waterloo Rental Licensing By-Law Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/stop-the-proposed-waterloo-rental-licensing-by-law.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 12 Apr 2026 03:18 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Anonymous [Signature #1255] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/14355757?utm_medium=rss The by law is a real cash grab from both landlords and students.

I do not understand why a house owner has no right to allow a friend or a relative living in one of his/her empty bedroom and share some bills?

I do not understand why an inspection made in 3 months ago for buying a house cost about 400,000 or even more fails to confirm the house is safe to live for people except for the owners themselves?

I pay the taxes like all the citizens in Canada. Waterloo is no different than all the other cities. In Toronto, Guelph, London, the landlords do not have to apply for residential licence, they do not have this stupid by-law. This is an abuse!!!

This will decrease the amount of available housing for students, and force the landlords to increase the rent price to make up for the costs of the licensing. This does not benefit the students or the landlords at all.

I really do not like what this by-law is proposing. The costs would have to be passed onto the students. Is that fair? No. Surely the City can come up with a much better way of collecting money other than from homeowners and students. If this by-law goes through, we should all stick together to ensure that everyone who voted for it does not get re-elected

This stinks so badly of the city being 'in bed' with the developers, a major cash grab and also a possible human rights violation. Waterloo used to be #2 for investors...now it ranks around #9.

As a student, I know that a base for combination of quality+price is set by the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. If these entities start to provide cheaper and better accommodations, students will not be looking for better rent elsewhere. But Universities want to save money, and help to introduce this non-competitive by-law on residents of Waterloo.

From the students' point of view, the rental fees will increase dramatically for students, making it difficult to find suitable accomodations, or will to lead to "undesireable" rental situations.

From the investor's point of view, more expenses to cover for less revenue coming in. Why would they invest in a losing proposition.
