Montreal is further tightening restrictions around short-term vacation rental platforms.

Residents will only be allowed to rent primary residences on platforms such as Airbnb between June 10 and Sept. 10 .

The city says more than half of the 4,000 units listed on vacation platforms are listed illegally.

The Quebec government tabled new legislation in 2023 , months after seven people died in a fire in an Old Montreal building.
