Toronto City Council Voted 40-3 In Favor of Short Term Rental Regulations

Toronto City Council Voted 40-3 In Favor of Short Term Rental Regulations

Thu., Dec. 7, 2017

Toronto city council approved regulations for short-term rentals in the city after a day-long debate on the issue. Council voted 40-3 in favor of the new regulations, and 27-17 in favor of restricting secondary suites.

The new regulations don’t ban short-term rentals, defined as less than 28 days, but instead require those who operate them to register their short-term rental, pay an annual fee of $50 and declare the property is their principle residence.

Only primary residences will be allowed to be rented on a short-term basis which can include up to three rooms for an unlimited number of days, or the entire house for no more than 180 nights per year. Secondary spaces, the most common form being a separate basement complete with a kitchen and bathroom, will not be allowed to be rented as a short-term rental.

Online Travel Agent platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and others will also have to pay a one-time fee of $5,000 plus $1 per night booked through their site.

Airbnb estimates that 10,800 Toronto properties were rented via their site in 2016 and that over three-quarters of the rented spaces are in principal residences.

The main point of debate, which included council members yelling at each other, as well as frequent outbursts from members of the public, surrounded the permitting of secondary suites. It’s unclear what will happen with those units once the new rules take effect. However some attached secondary suites may be reconnected to the primary residence, and simply offered as a room in the home.

Regulations take effect July 1, 2018. However, the city plans to review the new rules again in 2019.

Heather Weiermann @travlinsunshine

After growing up on the beaches of San Diego, Heather graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a Community Studies degree. Heather began marketing and managing vacation homes in 1999 as a favor to a friend who owned a beautiful home in La Jolla, California. Over the course of 14 years, Heather’s business, Southern California Vacation Rentals, grew to become one of San Diego’s leading vacation rental companies. In 2013 Heather sold her company, and after helping with the transition of ownership, Heather knew immediately she wanted to help other vacation rental managers realize the same results she found after implementing The NAVIS Way at her own business. Throughout her tenure, Heather has supported the vacation rental industry and other vacation rental managers by volunteering on local, state and national tourism and vacation rental committees and advisory councils. Heather served on the Board of Directors and as an Executive Committee Member of the Vacation Rental Managers Association from 2010 - 2014. Heather also founded the California Vacation Rental Managers Alliance and the San Diego Vacation Rental Managers Alliance. Both organizations were created to bring a much needed voice and public awareness to the region's vacation rental industry.
