The Municipality of Chatham-Kent would like to hear from you about rental renovations.

Share your thoughts online at https://www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/renovictions/surveys/feedback-2 or attend the public meeting to discuss a proposed Rental Renovation Licence By-law.

Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2026
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: Studio One, Chatham Cultural Centre, 75 William St. N, Chatham

See the post below for more details and visit www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/renovictions for more information on the proposed Rental Renovation Licence By-law.

Housing renovations are important, but when upgrades require tenants to leave their homes, it can affect housing security and affordability in our community.

Chatham-Kent Council is reviewing a proposed Rental Renovation Licence By-law to help ensure renovation-related tenant displacement is managed fairly and transparently.

Attend the public meeting tomorrow:
May 13, 2026, 6:00 pm
Chatham Cultural Centre - Studio One
75 William St. N., Chatham
