Short-Term Rental Guidelines

Short-term rentals such as AirBnB and Vrbo offer unique, alternative accommodations for tourists, larger groups and medium term occupants. It is important that, as a host, you are providing a safe environment for your guests while continuing to be a good neighbour. 

A licence is required to operate a short-term rental in Sault Ste. Marie if the unit, or part of a unit, is rented out for less than 28 consecutive days. The application form and guidelines aim to optimize the host and occupant experience, and mitigate any potential negative impacts on your neighbourhood.

Inquiries can be directed to shorttermrentals@cityssm.on.ca or 705-759-2684.
