Ontario "Emergency Brake" April 2021

[Ajaydeep0]

So it was announced today that we would be going into a 28 day "Emergency Brake". Are we still allowed to offer short term rentals?

No unless specifically for housing needs.

Please search the community above.  There are already conversations going on around the Ontario lockdowns.

I have had conversations with several hosts and we are all jumping hoops to get guests to rebook or cancel from their end.  Most are happy to have a choice and appreciate  a quick response/option to the new lock down.

No, @Ajaydeep0 . You have to dig deep into the provincial website, but it says

Short-term rentals

Short-term rentals (for example, cottages, cabins) are only to be provided to individuals who are in need of housing.
