To rent your residential property, you need a rental property business licence. Even if you hire a property manager.
Choose from three types of licences based on:
- How long you'll rent your residence
- If you live there
Short-term rentals
Rent the home you live in for less than 30 days at a time.
Bed and breakfasts
Rent up to two rooms in the home you live in for less than 30 days at a time and include breakfast.
Long-term rentals
Rent a residential property you own, including an investment property, for 30 days or more at a time.
