Optimizing Existing Housing Stock
Illegal Short-Term Rentals & The Financialization of Housing
Nearly half of Airbnb revenue—48%—flows to commercial operators or multi-unit hosts, exacerbating housing shortages and driving up rents.
Currently, there are over 285,000 short-term rental listings in Canada, removing much-needed housing stock for Canadians.
Best Practices
Enforcement of Short-term Rentals Regulation
HAC collaborated with municipalities nationwide to develop a framework for effective regulations.
Regulations are only effective when they are enforced. The government’s $50 million short-term rental enforcement fund will be critical to supporting municipalities that are serious about cracking down on illegal short-term rentals.
