Will you continue to Airbnb your Condo?

Will you continue to rent your condo as an #AIRBNB

It’s been a two-year fight. Landlords and the booking site have resisted every step of the way, and refused to voluntarily comply with municipal regs. For more than 20 months the issue has been before a tribunal, and now the decision’s been made. City, 1. Airbnb, 0.
All those units bought to rent out by the night (usually against condo board rules) are now illegal. Short-term rentals will be allowed only inside a landlord’s principal residence, and for no more than 180 nights s year. Homeowners can rent a max of three bedrooms, and not for more than 28 days at a time. No rentals will be allowed in basement or secondary suites. Landlords need to register and pay a fee plus a 4% accommodation (hotel) tax on revenues.
Of course by registering, landlords also join a database which is shared with the CRA – so anyone not declaring Airbnb (or VRBO) income is probably asking for an audit.  https://www.greaterfool.ca/2019/11/20/shared-stupidity/


No confusion there. 
The question is will you continue renting as Airbnb?
