There are WAY better solutions available to London Council, but they just want to push through this lazy bylaw… why?!?

Other municipalities have better solutions… London… lazy?
“Mayor Martyn was referring to STA solutions like the one implemented by South Bruce Peninsula, which has turned to artificial intelligence to manage municipal licensing. In South Bruce Peninsula, STA providers register their properties and pay licensing fees online, while software monitors 80 rental web sites and tracks unregistered STAs. The software also operates a “nuisance hotline,” which receives, documents and notifies property owners of any complaints. It alerts bylaw enforcement officers if complaints are not quickly resolved. In South Bruce Peninsula, the $25,000 software cost is recovered through licensing fees.”

This PARTICULAR Airbnb is NOT representative of most of the people who come to London and use Short Term Rentals.

Providing housing for short term stays in IMPORTANT. Not something to be shut down to try to get VOTES for the next municipal election.

Overview
Most short-term rental (STR) regulations that impact your ability to host are introduced at the municipal, or city/town level. First, the council decides to explore regulatory options. From here, municipalities typically provide the opportunity for residents to provide their thoughts, often in the form of a quick and simple online survey. Participating in these surveys is one of the most efficient ways to ensure that conversations around STR regulation include the voices of Hosts from the start - and we'll be sure to send these out if and when they're available in your community!
Based on this feedback, the Council drafts their proposal and a first reading of the new bylaw is introduced. From here, public hearings are held (sometimes online, sometimes in-person), allowing community members like you the opportunity to share your opinion on the proposals. This is another key moment in the development of STR regulations, and it's crucial that our Host community gets involved! We often ask Hosts to send emails, call their representatives, and attend hearings during this period, and using our advocacy tools, we've made it easier than ever to speak out! Following this, the bylaw goes through multiple revisions and readings, until finally, it is passed.

Abuse of dominance occurs when a dominant business (or group of businesses) engages in activity that stops or substantially reduces competition in a market. These anti-competitive activities may be:
predatory (incurring short-term losses to eliminate a competitor and gain future market power);
exclusionary (trying to prevent a business from operating in a market); or
disciplinary (trying to punish a business).
The Competition Act contains specific provisions regarding these types of abuse of market power.
