The bill would also make it illegal to enter into a contract for a short-term rental online without a certificate. All rentals would need written permission from the city or borough, which is already the law. Hosts would need to have one certificate for each listing and post them at the main entrance of multi-unit dwellings after getting permission from the condo or building owner. The bill would require short-term rental units to have a certificate from the province, and would make it illegal to publish a listing that doesn't have a certificate or an expiry date. Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx tabled on Tuesday Bill 25, which would bring in more regulations for both rental platforms and landlords, and set hefty fines for non-compliance. Quebec has followed through on its promise to crack down short-term rentals and introduced a bill in the national assembly that would tighten the rules on platforms like Airbnb.
