Regulating Short-Term Rentals

In 2022 and 2023, the City of Winnipeg (the City) explored regulations to mitigate negative impacts and concerns caused by short-term rentals. The City asked for feedback from Winnipeg residents and people in the short-term rentals and related industries to learn more about concerns and opportunities related to short-term rentals to determine the best way to approach regulations.

Short-term rentals are temporary accommodations (less than 30 consecutive days) in a dwelling such as an apartment, house, or condominium, provided by a property owner or principal tenant in exchange for payment. Common short-term rental platforms include Airbnb, VRBO, and HomeAway.
