Newmarket rules to know before you rent
We don't have Newmarket reviews to show yet, so here are the Town's own rules, and where to check them.
- Additional units must be registeredUnder By-law 2013-13, as amended, homes with an additional residential unit must register it with the Town in a one-time application. Registered homes get an "N" plate, and the unit gets a "B" added to its address, which also helps tenants receive mail and emergency services find them.Source: Town of Newmarket, additional residential units, checked October 18, 2026
- Building permit firstA new unit needs a building permit and has to meet the Ontario Building Code before anyone moves in. The Town's homeowners guide and the Building Department cover the details for your house.Source: Town of Newmarket, additional residential units, checked October 18, 2026
- Newer units and rent controlUnits first lived in after November 15, 2018, including most newer basement units, are exempt from Ontario's yearly guideline. Older units follow it: 1.9% for 2027.Source: Government of Ontario, residential rent increases, checked October 18, 2026
