Arrondissement de Rosemont\u2212La Petite-Patrie <\/em><\/h3>\n

In two separate files, the Borough denies a Certificate of Usage Compliance (Certificat de conformit\u00e9 d\u2019usage)<\/em> that would have allowed the two impacted citizens to lease an apartment on a short-term basis, using the Airbnb platform.<\/p>\n

In each of these two cases, such a Certificate of Usage Compliance had been issued in the past for another dwelling located in the same building.<\/p>\n

Thinking that obtaining a new certificate would not be an issue, each citizen had invested a significant amount of money prior to applying to the Borough.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In the first case: the new apartment had been fully furnished and decorated;<\/p>\n

\u2022 In the second case: the owner had sold the dwelling covered by the previous certificate, taking for granted that she would be authorized to lease another apartment in the same building, through Airbnb.<\/p>\n

However, the Borough had decided to no longer issue such certificates (Certificats de conformit\u00e9 d\u2019usage<\/em>), except in some restricted areas.\u00a0 The citizens requests were hence denied.<\/p>\n

After analysis, our office cannot find that the Borough’s new interpretation of its By-law is unreasonable. We do not intervene further. Nonetheless, the Borough confirms that it will not cancel the previously issued certificates.<\/p>\n

Cautionary Remark<\/h3>\n

Before investing in a dwelling with a view to lease it for short-term periods, citizens should first ensure that such use is authorized in their area and that they will be able to obtain the Borough’s required authorizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
