From the City of Ottawa
*******************
The City of Ottawa is considering new rules to address municipal and community concerns regarding rental accommodations. These concerns include:
- The quality, availability, and affordability of rental housing, including the community impacts of problem addresses
- The impact of short-term rental (STR) activity on housing and communities
- Problem hotel/motel operators.
The City has conducted a thorough investigation of these issues in two previous phases described in the life cycle to the right. For phase three, staff are now preparing to offer recommendations on possible regulatory approaches through a survey for the consideration of Council in a staff report later in 2019.
