Short-term rentals in Welland through online platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo and Flipkey will be regulated and licensed in early 2022.
That comes after city council approved zoning changes to allow short-term rental accommodations as a secondary use in residential, agricultural, and institutional zones and the principal use of dwellings in commercial zones that allow residential uses.
Tuesday, councillors also approved the definition of short-term rentals, which were not permitted in the city but already existed.
