Good. $300 a year, being accessible within an hour if there’s an emergency and testing smoke alarms between tenants isn’t an onerous burden.
If you’re unable to meet these meek standards, you shouldn’t be a landlord. There are ample property management companies, large and small, to take on your responsibilities if you are unwilling to perform them.
>“They’re still renting, but they’re doing it quietly underground, you know, friends and family … to avoid having to license.“
I don’t think this person knows what a rental is. If friends and family are staying at my property that’s not a rental…
All rentals should fall under the same regulations as hotels/b&b’s. If the owner cannot afford business expenses they should get out of the business. Am I supposed to feel bad for the guy with 2 vacation homes having to sell one of them?
> Property owners must provide a map of their septic system and the property layout, among other requirements, if they plan to rent their cottage or home for fewer than 28 consecutive days.
I would expect any competent cottage owner to already have that stuff documented.
And the $300 is something they can write off on their taxes.
If it means these cabins all get rented or sold to people who’ll use them, great, but I think we can all agree that isn’t happening in every case. It is likely that some of these landlords, like the couple that lives two hours away rather than the required one hour, will just eat it and let the cabin go empty. Even people who like this policy, should agree that that is a negative outcome. The clear, better solution is the same one we’ve had for over a century, that we used to use in western Canada:
just tax land lol
These people are hilarious.
Cottage communities across Ontario don’t want the problems that come with short term rentals so that property owners can run unlicensed hotels and resorts and they put in laws to discourage it.
> Short-term rental licensing rules are becoming a popular way for municipalities to regulate vacation homes in Ontario’s cottage country. But the new rules are causing frustrations among property owners, some of whom are pulling homes off the rental market rather than complying.
> Leclerc says he already pays for insurance, cleaning and property maintenance. He’s frustrated by the added cost, and the fact that he’s required to provide documents to the township he says they already have. His family is now planning on selling both their properties.
Yes Leclerc, that is exactly what everyone wants you to do.
Most of the rules seem fine, but the fire alarm stuff seems a bit weird? How do you enforce that they were verified? Do you need to hire a qualified inspector? Do hotels perform these inspections after every guest? I doubt…
