Montreal limits short-term rentals like Airbnb to summer months | CBC News

Montreal is set to implement new regulations for Airbnb hosts, aiming to address housing shortages. Starting in 2024, short-term rentals will require a registration number, and hosts must reside on the property at least 180 days per year. The changes are aimed at increasing accountability and limiting the number of properties converted to short-term rentals, which have contributed to rising housing costs in the city. This move follows growing complaints from residents and calls for more affordable housing options.
