@Shruthi5 Yes, there are regulations for short-term rentals in Manitoba. To provide you with the most accurate information, it would be helpful to know the exact location of your property within Manitoba, as regulations can vary between municipalities. Generally, short-term rentals in Manitoba may require registration, business licensing, and compliance with local zoning laws. Additionally, tax obligations, including income tax and potentially municipal taxes, will need to be considered.
Regarding benefits for your Airbnb business, you might be eligible for various tax deductions, such as expenses related to property maintenance, utilities, and even certain renovations. Again, the specific deductions you can claim will depend on your individual circumstances and how your Airbnb business is structured.
Could you provide more details about your location and setup? This will help in giving you more tailored advice.

Hi @Shruthi5 , @Tokunbo0 has pretty much summarized various obligations a Host should fulfill while listing their property for hosting.

I am also sharing an Airbnb article, that can help with general idea for general regulations and permissions for Hosts in Canada.

Have you managed to find more information else where in the meantime?
