This primer provides a technical examination of whether short-term rentals, like Airbnb, are putting upward pressure on rents across Canadian cities.
Has Airbnb activity had a meaningful impact on rents across Canada? Does the effect of Airbnb activity vary by province? Or are neighbourhood attributes, including proximity to amenities like restaurants, public transit, and parks, influencings both Airbnb activity and rents? And how much have policies implemented by cities and provinces to regulate short-term rentals reduced Airbnb activity, and have these policies resulted in lower rents?
Read the primer for the full analysis.
