Sadly I got penalized on all my listings .the government issued the tickets for the property owner.and co host for each listings. Any host here has experienced on the courts? Or any recommendations for the lawyers?
Hello @Kathryn789 👋
I’m really sorry to hear about the penalty you’re facing. If you could share a bit more information about it, that would be great! Understanding the context can help our hosts offer their support to you.
Are you also a part of a Local Host Club? There may be some hosts in the area who have faced similar penalties or situations such as yours.
I look forward to hearing from you! 🙂
Lots of short term rental regulations and restrictions in Montreal. Looks like the government is cracking down heavily on illegally operated short term rentals.

Are you letting out a property without complying with local STR regulations @Kathryn789 ?
If so, the best thing you can do is to stop accepting bookings/stop your listing from being live so you don't attract more fines /possible legal action.
as an experienced cohost I am sure you know your local STR legislation better than me - in what way have they said you aren't complying with local STR regulations? Do you feel they are incorrect and you have appropriate licenses /operating within their restrictions?
