Understanding Short-Term Rentals in Montreal: Qualifications and Regulations
Introduction:
Short-term rentals have gained popularity in recent years, offering an alternative accommodation option for travelers. However, various cities worldwide have implemented regulations to address the impact of these rentals on housing availability and community dynamics. In this article, we will explore what qualifies as a short-term rental in Montreal, Canada, and the regulations associated with such accommodations in the city.
Defining Short-Term Rentals: In Montreal, a short-term rental refers to the renting of a dwelling, or part of it, for a period of fewer than 31 consecutive days. It includes properties rented through online platforms, such as Airbnb, as well as other similar rental platforms.
Regulations for Short-Term Rentals in Montreal: To ensure the responsible and sustainable use of short-term rentals, the city of Montreal has implemented specific regulations. These regulations aim to strike a balance between the benefits of short-term rentals and the protection of long-term housing availability.
Obtaining a Certificate of Classification: As of April 2019, all short-term rental hosts in Montreal must obtain a Certificate of Classification from the city. This certificate ensures that the rental property meets specific safety standards and adheres to zoning regulations. Hosts are required to prominently display their certificate number in all rental listings.
Primary Residence Requirement: One crucial regulation in Montreal is the primary residence requirement. Hosts must reside in the rented property for a minimum of 180 days per year to be eligible for short-term rentals. This rule aims to prevent the conversion of long-term housing into full-time tourist accommodations.
Maximum Rental Period: Short-term rentals in Montreal are limited to a maximum of 31 consecutive days. This restriction prevents properties from operating as de facto hotels, ensuring that rentals remain primarily for temporary stays.
Compliance with Municipal Bylaws: Hosts must comply with all applicable municipal bylaws, including noise regulations, waste management guidelines, and other local ordinances. This ensures that short-term rentals do not disturb the peace and harmony of residential neighborhoods.
Taxes and Permit Fees: Hosts are required to collect and remit the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Quebec Sales Tax (QST) on short-term rental income. Additionally, permit fees apply when obtaining the Certificate of Classification, and failure to comply with tax obligations can result in penalties.
Enforcement and Penalties: Montreal has implemented a robust system to enforce short-term rental regulations. Municipal inspectors actively monitor online platforms for non-compliant listings. Violations can result in significant fines, ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the severity of the offense.
Conclusion: Understanding what qualifies as a short-term rental in Montreal is essential for hosts and travelers alike. The city's regulations aim to balance the benefits of short-term rentals while preserving the availability of long-term housing. By obtaining a Certificate of Classification, adhering to the primary residence requirement, and complying with all relevant regulations, hosts can engage in responsible short-term rental practices, contributing to a vibrant and sustainable community in Montreal.

Yoo, same
Kon stood nervously beside the shut front door of his family home (which was currently empty due to every single family member of his were busy), he fiddled with his fingers, his senses seemingly becoming more and more sensitive as time went on, glancing up at the grandfather clock Mr. Bruce Wayne gifted to them every so often.
This was the day, the day Kon will tell his first ever long time 'normal' best friend his secret, finally after so many years he could really free himself from the guilt of lying and hiding his identity to Dani, he imagines the hilarious shocked face Dani will make when Kon tells her his Super boy, and how excited she will be not even sparing him a minute to answer her dozens of questions, Kon chuckled to himself as the idea swam in his mind.
But his chuckles, were stopped as a thought floated up in his head 'What if it'll be the other way? what if she'll never talk to me ever again?' Kon silently thought as he tapped his foot overwhelmed by the thought of his best friend not seeing him as a regular human being anymore and just a clone freak, he didn't want that the black hair blue-eyed girl despite her features was not part of the Wayne family, which shocked Kon upon their first meeting due to the fact Dani also lived in Gotham.
But Kon found out soon enough that Dani lived with her older siblings, a cool older sister named Jazz, Jazz had red hair, but her smile was the same as Dani's, and an odd older brother who Kon thought at first was her Twin brother, it didn't help that their names was also very similar Dani having an i, while her older brother Danny had a Y, they were cool people, Kon would like to hang out with them more often, but that'll will only happen if Dani still sees Kon as Kon after this discussion.
But is it all worth it? to just reveal it his life, his identity? after all Dani was the only time Kon ever felt normal, he wanted to be happy, he wanted to be understood, he wanted to be normal, he wanted to be selfish, he wanted Dani.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door which startles him greatly, he knows who's at the opposite of door, after all only one person can ever go sneak up on him a surprise him to death, 'Dani' was the only thing he can think about as he turned the doorknob to open the front door.
And "Dani" was the only thing he breathed out as he faced the girl that stood Infront of him, Dani always liked to put on comfy and edgy clothes that makes people mistake her for a boy if it weren't for her long hair, which Kon realized Dani never cared if she was called the opposite gender she finds it as a compliment, her regular long side bangs that usually resides on the right side of her face was put up with a hair clip, her face was in full view, and even the gods can't fathom on how pretty she was.
She smiled at him with her oddly crooked sharp teeth, and Kon knew he was in danger right there and then, but for the reasons you don't think it is.
"Heya Konnie, what made you call me in like the middle of the semester?" Dani asked as she tilted her head, "Just want to talk with you." Kon stated as he moved to the side to give her room to head in, after letting Dani walked in Kon closed the door behind her.
"Come follow me, let's go to the balcony" Kon said as he grabbed Dani's wrist to drag her where she complied easily and just let Kon do his thing, Kon breathed out the trust Dani had in him, made him want to just breakdown right there in the middle of the living room floor, because he knows that after this there will be a chance Dani won't want to be there to spend the life they had imagined in the past together in the near future.
But he kept himself strong after all there was still the other positive half.
They had reached the balcony in less than 3 minutes, Kon sat silently on one of the sofas placed, Dani following and sitting on the left side, Dani put her head on top of Kon's shoulder, and Kon let's her, Dani took Kon's hands and played with them putting his ring on different fingers, Kon let's her, she tangles her hands with Kon's, and Kon let's her.
"Dani..." Kon let out, Dani hummed in response
"I need to confess to you about something." Kon mumbled, this time Dani looked up at him.
"What is it?" Dani asked, Kon looked down at her, meeting her eyes was hard, did it ever get this suffocating when talking to her in the past?
definitely not. there was no time, place, or event Kon ever felt uncomfortable with her next to him. Kon slowly got onto his knees Infront of Dani making her confused.
"Konnie? why are you kneeling" Dani giggled as she found the scene Infront of her utterly funny but stopped when she saw how serious Kon looked and how his hands that were still holding onto Dani's was trembling. "Kon, are you okay?"
"Danielle, I have been hiding something from you for a very long time, and I can't handle keeping it for much longer" Kon's voice trembled, there was no turning back the consequences can come later, he needs to let this guilty burden out of his chest. he looks up at Dani with her eyebrows furrowed and blue eyes that glinted in worry.
she looks ethereal and only heaven knows on how Kon yearns for his best friend.
"I'm Super boy" Kon uttered out his voice cracking but only slightly.
He yearns to tell her the truth.
"I have been Super boy even before we met"
He yearns for her approval
"Not only that, but I'm also a clone of the one and only Superman"
He yearns for her acceptance
"I'm sorry for lying and hiding my identity from you."
He yearns for her forgiveness
"Dani, I love you so much it hurts." he went quiet his body full of anxiety his knees became weak as he observed any signs of emotion in the black-haired girl's face.
He yearns for her.
And he has a feeling she know it too.
Is this it? everything they worked hard for this friendship disappearing just like that, on this day, here in the balcony? please no, his heart couldn't possibly take that, she wants her beside him, he'll take any route of destiny as long as she stays, even if she turns to despise his very being, he'll take it with no hesitation.
As long as she's with me, everything's worth it.
He didn't even realize he was crying until he felt a pair of hands caressing his face wiping his tears in the process, Dani made him look at her, she smiled at him softly then she opened her mouth and uttered "It's okay I forgive you, thank you for telling me." Dani held him close and let Kon's head rest on her chest. "I promise you, I'm not going anywhere, after all any place I'll go will be painstakingly boring without you beside me."
Finally letting go of the mixed emotions that had built inside of him, Kon cried, he cried until his throat became sore and his eyes became red from the tears, and Dani stayed until the very end just like she promised.
PLUS SCENE
Kon laid on the sofa tired and lazily staring at the ceiling, a random cartoon show played from the TV, one of his hands was holding onto to Dani's Hand, as the girl looked focused on the show, Kon let his eyes close for a second succumbing to the peace, until Dani opened her mouth.
"You said earlier that you were a clone, right?" Dani asked her eyes remained on the TV
Kon hummed "yeah why?"
"Yoo, same" Dani laughed, her reply made the exhaustion from Kon's body leave immediately, he sat straight up and his mouth open as he looked at Dani in surprise.
"Excuse me, WHAT??" Kon stated in disbelief, Dani bent over clutching her stomach as she laughed at his reaction.
