[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years back, Council limited the ability of people to offer their homes over AirBnB and similar sites through the Short Term Rental program. The idea was that it would reduce some of the housing hoarding that was going on in the midst of a housing crisis.

Now, Council wants to let renters allow their homes to be used on AirBnB. My friends in apartment buildings don't want units being rented for parties and all that, but I guess the AirBnB lobby + Council's misguided view of equity will win.

What is wrong with these people?[/quote]

Source? A law requiring short-term licenses for rentals just went into effect in 2022. [/quote]

Yes, you have to be a resident and can rent out short term, but it's 90 days total. Still, I don't want my tenant making profit off my place as it's in the premium touristy area and commands high price.  I will be putting a clause into the lease limiting it only to long term 30+ days (like our rental lease was when we were renters).  [/quote]
