City of Ottawa - Rental Accommodations Study

Be aware Landlord Licensing maybe coming

This is an e-mail received from a city counselor's office, for all Landlords and investors who are available we recommend you attend: Our office wanted to let you know that public consultations for the Rental Accommodations Study have now been announced! This is a chance for people to have a say regarding Air B&B, student housing, 'bunkhouse' developments, and landlord licensing. Unfortunately, very little notice has been provided by the City of Ottawa's consultants: the first public consultation (on student housing and bunkhouses) takes place THIS Monday, May 27th, across the street from Billings Bridge (600-1355 Bank St). The second consultation, on short-term rentals (e.g. Air B&B), will be taking place the following day, May 28th, at the Heron Road Community Centre (1480 Heron Rd). Please register for either with Maclaren Municipal Consulting by email at rentalhousingstudy@gmail.com If you are unable to attend the public consultations in person, there is also an online survey for each theme (they only take a minute!): More information, including the full list of consultations ('workshops'), is available : https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/projects/rental-accommodations-study
