HOW AIRBNB IS AFFECTING THE CANADIAN HOUSING MARKET BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER
We keep hearing about Airbnb properties and that they’re “bad” for the housing market but for most of us, it’s not clear why. So, let’s dive in. First of all, what’s the difference between an Airbnb and a traditional rental property?
Airbnb properties are typically shortterm rentals that would appeal to tourists as an alternative to a hotel. Owners with a rental property in a high-tourist area, especially one near public transportation, can rent consistently throughout the year on a short-term basis setting fluctuating prices depending on the high season. The people who are renting out their homes or apartments often include amenities such as maps, towels and dishes. Traditional rentals represent the section of the market looking for a long-term living space who perhaps cannot afford to buy a home or have decided to rent for other reasons. These homes are also more likely to be located outside of a high-tourist area and are typically priced lower for long-term use. The landlord is only obligated to ensure appliances are in working order and the home or apartment is in good repair.
Since the Airbnb market took hold, Canada has seen explosive growth in three main metropolitan areas: Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. A recent study by McGill University, Short-term Cities: Airbnb’s Impact on Canadian Housing Markets, studied the market in these three areas and found that in 2017, there were more than 81,000 active Airbnb listings which brought in a collective $430 million. That amounts to an increase of 55% from the year before. Of these, about one quarter are entire homes being rented on a short-term basis which means they are unavailable for long-term tenants. This is problematic for individuals and families looking for affordable housing in metropolitan areas as Airbnb properties have contributed to soaring costs in the rental market. Fairbnb.ca, a national coalition of homeowners, tenants, tourism businesses and labour organizations who call for stricter regulations of short-term rentals, stated
in January 2019 that 6,500 homes could be added to the Toronto housing market if Airbnb were to comply with the proposed new city rules (which were passed by city council in December 2017). Those rules are currently under appeal. Fairbnb’s most recent report explains that if the laws were enforced today, Airbnb would have to remove over 8,000 properties from its website because they are not in compliance with the new regulations. So, how are they regulated? Airbnb, or short-term rentals (defined as less than 28 days), often operate in legal “grey zones” so they can avoid existing accommodation regulations and taxes. In an increasing number of cases, Airbnb rentals have become concentrated among a smaller group of operators - those with a whole lot of money who buy up properties and rent them at a higher price on a short-term basis. This is in stark contrast to Airbnb’s original purpose which was for homeowners to earn a little side cash by renting out a room or entire home in short-term stints, like when they might be away on vacation. Recently, Toronto and Vancouver have proposed stricter regulations after assessing the impact of these short-term rentals. They will require a licence to operate and owners will be limited to offering their primary residence only, which can include up to three rooms or their entire house – an entire house being limited to a maximum of 180 days per calendar year. Those opposing these new guidelines argue it can affect an income stream they have come to depend on, eliminating 20-30% of their rental income if they’re forced to rent long-term. While this may be unfavourable for landlords, the bigger issue remains: many low-income tenants cannot find affordable, long-term housing and major urban centres are entering crisis-level status with shelters now overflowing. Many low-income tenants who used to be in apartments-turned-Airbnb have been evicted and forced into shelters. As Fairbnb states, “We’re calling for a robust, nationally-consistent policy framework to ensure homesharing complies with fair, safe and respectful legislation.” The debate continues.
