Concerned About Legal and Safety Issues with Basement Rentals

I'm looking to sublet a basement apartment in Toronto and I'm really uneasy about its legality and safety. How can I verify if the landlord has the proper permits and licenses? What are some red flags I should watch for in case it's illegal? I want to ensure my safety and comply with the law.
