Montreal is about to unleash one of the toughest Airbnb crackdowns in the world - The Logic

Montreal has implemented stricter regulations for short-term rentals, aiming to curb illegal listings primarily from platforms like Airbnb. New measures include hefty fines for non-compliance and increased enforcement to ensure rental properties are registered and adhere to zoning bylaws. These changes are a response to housing shortages and community concerns over neighborhood disturbances from transient visitors. The city hopes these actions will redirect housing back into the long-term rental market, easing the housing crisis and maintaining neighborhood integrity.
