Montreal says it will only allow Airbnbs across city in summer, crack down during rest of year | CBC News

Montreal's city council has approved new rules for Airbnb and other short-term rentals, allowing hosts to rent out their primary residences on a short-term basis for up to 90 days a year. The changes aim to balance the city's housing needs with tourism, and include stricter regulations on rental properties, such as requiring a certificate of compliance and limiting the number of rental units owned by one individual. The city hopes these measures will increase housing availability while still supporting the local economy.
