Compliance audits

We review your listing, guest communications, and operations to catch and fix potential bylaw violations before they become costly problems.

Appeal & strategy support

If your permit is at risk of revocation, we help you prepare your case and guide you through the appeals process step by step. Included in the Premium Host Plan.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about Toronto STR permits and working with us.

Do I need a permit to host on Airbnb in Toronto?
Yes. The City of Toronto requires all short-term rental operators to register and obtain a permit. Hosting without one risks fines, listing removal, and enforcement action.
What is the Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT)?
The MAT is a 6% tax on short-term rentals that hosts must collect from guests and remit to the city quarterly. We handle the entire filing process for you.
How long does it take to get approved?
Approvals can be completed within 24 hours when everything is done right. Actual timing can still vary based on the City and the specifics of the file, but we help you prepare thoroughly so you can avoid preventable delays and respond properly if the City asks for more information.
Can I host a second property or investment condo?
Toronto's STR rules require the rental to be your principal residence. We can advise you on your specific situation during a free consultation call.
Do you speak to the City on my behalf?
The City typically prefers to communicate directly with the permit holder, not third parties. We make that clear upfront and guide you on what to say, what to submit, and how to respond throughout the process.
What happens if I get a complaint or bylaw notice?
Depending on your plan, we handle complaint responses and proactively audit your listing to prevent escalation. Premium Host plan clients also receive full appeal support.
Can you help if my permit was already denied or revoked?
Yes. Our Appeal & Strategy Support service (included in the Premium Host Plan) is specifically designed for hosts whose permits are at risk. We'll assess your case and build a strategy.
