Owners/operators/hosts of short-term rental accommodations (rented for 28 days or less) must register, beginning April 1, 2020, under the Tourist Accommodations and Registration Act. The registry allows government to capture data around the supply and location of rental accommodations, and "level the playing field" for all short-term accommodations operators. The intention is to share neighbourhood level (not individual level) accommodations data on the open data portal to give citizens an understanding of the type and number of short-term rental accommodations within their communities. No personally identifying information is shared through the open data portal.
