Toronto Short-Term Rental Regulation Clears Final Hurdle 03 July 2020 The City passed a bylaw amendment restricting short-term rentals in late 2017, and the rules were supposed to take effect in June 2018. But an appeal by short-term landlords to the Local Appeal Planning Tribunal (LPAT) delayed the implementation of the zoning and accompanying licensing rules.... At the end of June 2020, the divisional court dismissed the landlords’ motion to appeal the decision of the provincial tribunal that sided with the city’s regulations of Airbnb-style accommodation in November. Following the LPAT ruling, Toronto declared the bylaws to be in effect, but it is still working out enforcement and accompanying licensing details. Those were to have been released in the fall of 2019, but COVID-19 means new timelines are expected this summer, according to City staff. The City maintained its position that the bylaws permit homeowners to earn rental income from their principal residences, but they also protect the city’s housing stock and keep hotels from operating in residential neighbourhoods, including high-rise condominiums. Please refer to the City of Toronto’s Short-Term Rentals website - https://www.toronto.ca//rental-housing/short-term-rentals/ - for complete details on the rules, licensing and implementation details. source: Toronto Regional Real Estate Board
