    Additionally, short-term rental platforms are also required to register with the province, remove any listing that is not registered and share information about their listings with the Provincial Government.

    Amendments to the Tourist Accommodations Act will come into effect later this fall. Changes will require short-term accommodation hosts who list their primary residences to register with the Provincial Government. Additionally, short-term rental platforms are also required to register with the province, remove any listing that is not registered and share information about their listings with the Provincial Government. These measures, which will require all short-term rentals to be registered, will provide the Government with a more complete picture of the scope of short-term rentals throughout the province. All short-term rentals not registered once the Act is proclaimed will be in contravention of the Act. To date, close to 2,700 accommodations have been registered.

    Further information on the Tourist Accommodations Act, including details on the regulations and how to register your short-term accommodation, can be found online.
