A year ago, the Short-Term Rental Accommodations Act took effect. On April 30th, the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs provided an update on upcoming deadlines for their Short-Term Rental (STR) Registry. The Province is extending the timeframes “… for when platforms are legally required to validate provincial registration numbers and automatically remove illegal listings as follows: 

• As of June 2, 2025, if a short-term rental listing does not have a valid registration number, platforms must stop advertising the listing and prevent new bookings from that host or face a possible investigation and potential monetary penalty. This date was previously May 1.   
• As of June 23, 2025, platforms must cancel all future bookings from hosts without a valid provincial registration number or face a possible investigation and potential monetary penalty. This date was previously June 1.” 

The STR update also includes information on the ability of some communities to opt in or out of the short-term rental rules. For more information, please see the STR Registration website.
