Short term stays: Don’t do it!

Only those on the lease can stay in your home. You may not use platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Airbnb or Kijiji to sublet (rent out) a room or your home. 

Why?

The City of Ottawa has bylaws that address short-term rentals. It is prohibited to provide short-term rentals in community housing. It is strictly forbidden, even if your guests are well-behaved. 

What can happen?

If you rent out your home, you run the risk of being evicted and losing your subsidy.
