New rules for short-term rentals in Halifax come into effect Friday, and that's welcome news for one group that's been pushing for regulation for years.
The new land-use bylaw regulating short-term rentals in Halifax comes into effect Friday, a move that’s been long awaited by Bill Stewart.
“So, we began to advocate to the provincial government and the municipal government to see if some regulations can be put in place,” he said.and on Sept. 1, Halifax Regional Municipality is set to usher in new rules setting limitations on how and where short-term rental units can operate within the city.
Stewart said requiring the host to also live in the home should help address some of the partying and noise issues his group has seen.He is also hopeful the move will free up some desperately needed long-term housing stock in residential areas. “HRM and the province of Nova Scotia have made major commitments to do something about the housing crisis. This isn’t going to solve it completely, but by implementing the bylaw, doing it effectively, you may free up some housing to address part of that issue.”
