Do You Need a Short-Term Rental Permit in Toronto?

Yes. If you're renting your entire home for stays under 28 days, Toronto requires you to register as a short-term rental operator with the city.

Key Requirements

  • The property must be your principal residence
  • Maximum 180 nights per year for entire-home rentals
  • You must display your registration number on all listings
  • Platforms like Airbnb automatically collect and remit taxes on your behalf
