Hi folks, who owns the parking in plazas in Brampton? Context: I take my daughter to rosedale ave where a lot of kids activity studios are located and almost entire row has put “No Parking” for the slots in front of their shop. This leaves very few parking slots and tons of randomly parked cars in plaza. My query is that do the business owners own the right to parking slot as well in front of their shops ?

Yes , they negotiate it as part of their lease.
Why not just park on Rosedale itself?
Some stores will call towing on you. The tow company will toss a few bucks to the store owner for the business. Win win for them, lose for the owner of the car.
The landlord owns the lots and the no parking signs are likely at the request of the tenants. Maybe you can bring up the issue of lack of parking up with the business you are trying to attend. Hopefully they will take your feedback seriously if they see the negative impact it has on their customers.
Talk to the business and POLITELY ask where there is parking. They want their customers to park, and will help you if possible.
As I recall Rosedale was one of those malls built with high residency/low parking. So you may have to drop your family, park on the side streets and walk back.
It sucks. I don't know why they design malls this way, but once those Condos go up for BCC everything is going to be screwed. The Freshco/Bay side is a disaster now, and they want to add 1000 residents? Yeah.
Property is owned by the Landlord. Tenants likely have permission to designate a spot (or two) in front of their stores as "theirs" as part of their lease agreement, in order to facilitate access for their Customers.
You can ignore the signs, but you might not like the results.
What kind of results?
