What Does Airbnb Market Look Like in Ottawa?
Delightful Ottawa is the capital city of the Canadian nation. The cleanliness and greenness of Ottawa are legendary, and it is also the hub of Canadian history and culture. Many famous travel bloggers rhapsodize about Ottawa as the most beautiful, safe, friendly, and clean city on the planet. With more than 11 million tourists flocking to the city every year, Ottawa is the perfect place to start an Airbnb business. If you decide to get into the Airbnb business in Ottawa, consider allocating an entire home for this venture, because neither private rooms nor shared rooms are in demand with Ottawa visitors.
How Profitable is Airbnb Business in Ottawa?
Many Airbnb hosts easily make $4000 monthly on their vacation rentals in this city because they do not have to deal with dense competition. Despite the popularity of Ottawa among globe-trotters, the amount of active rental units hardly reaches the two thousand mark, so the Airbnb niche is free, and it is fully yours!
What is Airbnb Regulation in Ottawa?
Airbnb rentals are legal in Ottawa, Canada, yet hosts must stay with the local Short-Term Rental By-Law. According to this by-law, an entrepreneur can only rent out their primary residence for a short-stay period (up to 30 days). An Airbnb host must register their business and obtain a short-term residential rental certificate from the Ottawa Business Licensing Center.
Note that rural homeowners and cottage owners fall under the category of “cottage rentals” and need a separate permit. The owners of condominiums and co-operative units are allowed to offer short-term rentals in their principal residence, provided this activity is not prohibited by the condominium corporation or housing co-operative. Ottawa also imposes a Municipal Accommodation Tax on capital gains from short-stay rentals.
If you find it difficult to handle all legal concerns independently, contact us today, and we will be glad to guide you throughout the process of registering an Airbnb business in Ottawa.
