亞伯達省愛德蒙頓

When deciding whether to become an Airbnb Host, it's important to understand the laws in your city. As a platform and marketplace, we do not provide legal advice, but want to provide some useful links that may help you understand the laws and regulations in the City of Edmonton. This list is not exhaustive, but it may give you a good start in understanding your local laws. We’ll periodically update this information as more becomes available.

Licensing

City of Edmonton Bylaw 20002 - Business Licence Bylaw requires Hosts to have a Residential Rental Accommodation (Short-Term) business licence for each property that is available for short-term home rental. Hosts are responsible for applying for their own business licences. You can review Edmonton’s Short-Term Home Rentals page to apply for a licence, or to access more information about short-term rentals - including operating requirements that Hosts must follow, and other permits that may be required.

Once your City of Edmonton business licence has been issued, you may begin advertising and renting your Short-Term Rental property. Hosts must display the business licence number on their listing.

Questions? Talk to a City of Edmonton Licensing Advisor by calling 780-442-5054 or emailing businesslicenceapplications@edmonton.ca.

Other contracts and rules

As a Host, you need to understand and abide by the contracts and rules that bind you, including leases, co-op rules, HomeOwners Association (HOA) rules, or others established by tenant organizations. You can find out more by contacting your housing authority (such as a condominium board) or landlord. Your lease (or other contract) might also include specific details.

Our commitment to your community

We are committed to working with local officials to help them understand how Airbnb benefits our communities. Where needed, we will continue to advocate for changes that will allow regular people to rent out their own homes.
