Markham CHAPTER 121: RENTAL PROPERTIES § 121.42
PARKING
Operative Text
Off-street parking shall be provided and maintained for all rental units in accordance with the standards set forth in the Zoning Code and city Building Code standards. (Ord. 17-O-2162, passed 1-18-2017; Ord. 24-O-2388, passed 5-15-2024)
Section 121.42 of Markham's rental property regulations requires that off-street parking be both provided and kept in good condition for all rental units, with the specific standards for that parking determined by the city's Zoning Code and Building Code. This rule applies to all rental properties in Markham, meaning landlords cannot simply offer parking at move-in and then allow it to deteriorate or disappear. The provision ties parking requirements directly to two separate bodies of local code, so the applicable standards may vary depending on the property's zoning classification and construction details.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 121.42, compliant rental property operators in Markham generally ensure that off-street parking spaces are not only present at the time of rental but are also actively maintained throughout the tenancy. Operators typically review both the Markham Zoning Code and the city Building Code to confirm that the number, dimensions, surfacing, and condition of parking areas meet applicable standards for their specific property type and zone. Routine inspections of parking areas and prompt repair of deteriorating surfaces, markings, or lighting are practices commonly associated with ongoing compliance under this provision.

Section 121.42 gives tenants in Markham rental units a basis to expect that off-street parking will be provided and kept in a maintained condition consistent with the city's Zoning Code and Building Code standards. If parking associated with a rental unit appears to be absent, inaccessible, or in a state of disrepair, tenants may consider documenting the condition and raising the issue with Markham's code enforcement or building inspection office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local Markham ordinances can help renters understand what specific standards apply to their property and what general options exist for addressing a potential violation of § 121.42.
