The City of Charlottetown has moved one step closer to regulating short-term rentals, including rooms and apartments listed on Airbnb and other vacation rental sites. One person would not be allowed to operate multiple properties, there would be no short-term rentals allowed in apartment buildings, and city and provincial licences would be required. "There are quite a few apartments that are being rented out as short-term rentals." Principal residences onlyAn entire home could be offered as a short-term rental, but it would have to be the principal residence of the host listing it. Not a commercial enterpriseThe ultimate goal: Planning staff hope to put an end to one owner having multiple short-term rental properties.
