Short-Term Rentals

A short-term rental refers to a dwelling unit (all or part) that is used to provide sleeping accommodations for a rental period of less than 28 consecutive days in exchange for payment (e.g. Airbnb, VRBO, RentbyOwner, etc.).

Currently, there is no licensing requirement for short-term rentals in Haldimand County. However, property owners should be aware of Haldimand County by-laws and Provincial Acts that may affect the short-term rental of their property.

Common regulations to be aware of include:

• Noise
• Property standards and clean yards
• Open-air burning
• Parking rules
• Ontario Building Code
• Ontario Fire Code
