The city is moving toward regulating short-term residential rental units, the majority of which listed on Airbnb
There are at least 439 active short-term rental listings in the City of Greater Sudbury, according to a municipal report tabled for the Nov. 15 finance and administration meeting of city council.
Mussen’s report concludes that the city’s Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw should be amended to permit short-term rentals in certain zones, and that a short-term rental bylaw be created. The proposed resolutions tabled for city council consideration on Nov. 15 would be a starting point triggering community engagement and a review of what other municipalities are doing, with recommendations coming back to city council by September 2024.
This, in turn, “can cause issues for the housing market and may cause neighbour disputes, a lack of affordable housing, and a negative impact on more traditional short-term accommodation providers such as hotels and resorts.”
