Short-Term Rental Regulations Coming In September
In response to a request made in the fall of 2020 by Ward 2 Local Councillor John Challinor that the Town of Milton develop regulations related to short-term rentals, Town staff will return to Milton Council this September with a proposed bylaw.
Following consultations this summer with the public, AirBNB and others involved in the business of short-term rentals, Town staff will write legislation that meets the short-term rental requirements of the community, covers the costs associated with the Town’s licensing oversight and, ultimately, respects the quality-of-life rights of its citizens.
Mr. Challinor, all other members of Council and Town staff have been receiving complaints over the last few years, and as late as this spring and summer, about party houses and other short-term rental disruptions in Milton’s urban and rural neighbourhoods. CR
