Two provinces, two sets of rules

We work on both sides of the river every day and set you up correctly from day one.

Quebec: Gatineau and the Outaouais

  • Every stay of 31 days or less needs a CITQ registration number.
  • Your municipality must confirm that zoning allows it.
  • The number and expiry date go on every listing and ad.
  • Registration is renewed every year.

Ontario: Ottawa and cottage country

  • Stays under 30 nights are allowed only in your principal residence.
  • Hosts need a City of Ottawa host permit.
  • Furnished stays of 30+ nights fall outside the short-term rental bylaw.
  • Outside Ottawa, each township sets its own rules, and some require a short-term rental licence.

Summary for general information. Rules change, so we confirm the details for your address before you list.
