I’ve been quoted in the Toronto Star: Jason Cherniak, a lawyer for several local property owners some registered with Airbnb and other platforms acknowledged the city’s rules are legal for the time being following a decision by the provincial Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in November, which upheld a bylaw approved by city council in 2017 that was to take effect in June 2018. The city’s bylaw was placed in limbo pending the tribunal’s decision.... Cherniak told the Star he filed a motion to appeal the LPAT’s decision and has subsequently filed a factum providing more detail on the reasons for his clients’ appeal and is awaiting a response from the city. The motion will be heard by a single judge who will then decide if it has sufficient merit to go before a three-judge panel of the divisional court.
