Short-Term Accommodations Registry Data

Owners/operators/hosts of short-term rental accommodations (rented for 28 days or less) must register, beginning April 1, 2020, under the Short-term Rental Registration Act. The registry allows government to capture data around the supply and location of rental accommodations. This dataset shows the number of registered short term accommodations, of varying types, in each Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Census Division (CD).
