McGill study finds about 16,000 of the 28,000 units in B.C. on short-term rental platforms appear to be whole homes being rented out repeatedly for short stays

We brought in similar rules on Montréal (maybe more of Québec as well, I’m not sure), and have seen limited results.

I recommend cities making similiar legislation include snitch lines and bounties for citizen reporting.

It feels like most of these rules tend to lack any sort of enforcement mechanism which means a couple people will get made an example of but by and large the problem will remain.

If your elected officials own rental properties and short term rentals (many do) the you can find expect next to zero enforcement on things like this.

Many boroughs in Montreal have their own rules on short-term rentals, but the provincial regulation is getting tightened up a lot after that fire that killed 6 people in Montreal.
