Quebec is Set to Become the First Province to Legalize Airbnb

Airbnb will be officially legal in Quebec this Fall.

The Quebec Government started the process that will make it the first Canadian province to legalize Airbnb-style rentals.

The plan is to start regulating taxes so that people will be less motivated to rent out their home illegally and follow the same rules and guidelines as the hotel industry.

Aside from taxation, the number of inspectors is also set to increase, as there are currently only two agents that oversee the entire province, monitoring those who might be breaking rules.

Feedback has been mixed, since some believe Airbnb should not be regulated like a business as people’s personal homes and belongings are being rented out and used.

We would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Is legalizing Airbnb a good idea or is this another way for the Government of Quebec to regulate and profit? Let us know on our Facebook page.
