Brookfield — Ch. 12 Art. XIII Residential Rental Registration § 12-704
Violations and penalties
Operative Text
Any person found to have violated any provision of this article shall be subject to the penalty of not less than $25.00 nor more than $750.00 for each offense, and each day upon which such violation continues shall be regarded as constituting a distinct and separate offense.
Brookfield's Ch. 12 Art. XIII § 12-704 establishes a civil penalty structure for violations of the Residential Rental Registration article. Any person found in violation faces a fine of at least $25 and up to $750 for each offense. Critically, every day that a violation continues is treated as its own separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate on a daily basis until the violation is corrected.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 12-704 of Brookfield's Residential Rental Registration article, compliant property owners and managers generally ensure that all registration requirements under Ch. 12 Art. XIII are met promptly and kept current. Because each day of non-compliance is treated as a distinct offense, operators typically address any identified deficiency as quickly as possible to avoid escalating daily fines ranging from $25 to $750 per offense. Maintaining organized records of registration filings and renewal deadlines is a common practice among operators seeking to stay in good standing.
