Toronto Short Term Rental Changes coming into effect September 2024 and January 2025
Heads up Toronto homeowners who rent out their place short-term. New rules are coming in September and January next year.
This is all about helping home owners generate some extra income by renting their homes, while also keeping long-term rentals available for folks who need them.
You will be asked to submit, upon request, at least two documents in addition to your government-issued identification to provide additional evidence of principal residence.
You may be asked to attend an in-person interview with the City to present information or documents that may be required to evaluate your eligibility to be issued a short-term rental registration.
The City will have the authority to conduct annual inspections of all registered short-term rentals.
Your operator registration will be tied to your principal residence address. When a registration is revoked, you will not be able to apply for a new registration for one year and no other person will be able to apply for a registration related to your address for one year.
Only one registration will be allowed per dwelling unit.
Short-term rental operator registration and renewal fee will increase to $375.
You will need to choose between registering as either an entire-unit short-term rental operator (i.e. short-term renting your entire home) or as a partial-unit short-term rental operator (i.e. short-term renting only rooms in your home) for the duration of your registration period.
If you have a partial-unit rental (i.e. short-term renting only rooms in your home), you can only advertise one fewer than the number of bedrooms available in your principal residence. Partial-unit rental operators cannot rent out the entire dwelling unit at the same time.
