A Brampton woman, Savreet Kaur, 27, has been arrested and charged in connection with a rental scam that allegedly defrauded renters of more than $60,000 across multiple incidents between May 2025 and February 2026. Peel Regional Police say Kaur advertised rental properties, including basement units, on social media, took deposits for first and last month’s rent, and, when victims arrived with their belongings, the rentals were unavailable and refunds were not issued. Police have identified 17 separate incidents totaling over $60,000 in losses, and Kaur is charged with 38 counts of fraud over $5,000 and one count of obstructing police; she was held for a bail hearing. The victims reported that none received the promised accommodations, and several had already moved out of their previous homes by the time they arrived. Investigators from Peel’s 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau urge caution when searching for rentals on social media and note the ongoing nature of the investigation, with the case referenced by multiple local outlets. The case has prompted discussions around rental-scam risks in Brampton, including advisories related to fraud prevention and the city’s landlord registry resources.
