Frequently Asked Questions
Are short-term rentals legal in Ottawa?+
Yes, but with regulations. Ottawa requires short-term rental permits and limits rentals to your principal residence. Basement suites in your primary home qualify. You must register with the city and collect/remit the Municipal Accommodation Tax.
How much can I earn from Airbnb in Ottawa?+
Ottawa Airbnb suites average $100-150/night for one-bedrooms. During peak events (Canada Day, Winterlude, conferences), rates can hit $200+. With 60-70% occupancy, annual income can exceed $25,000-40,000, often surpassing long-term rental income.
What design features help maximize Airbnb bookings?+
Key features include: professional photos, keyless entry, fast WiFi, smart TV, quality bedding, full kitchen, unique decor, private entrance, and thoughtful amenities. We design with these booking factors in mind.
Should I do short-term or long-term rental?+
Short-term offers higher income potential but more work (cleaning, guest communication, turnover). Long-term is passive but lower income. Many hosts start with Airbnb then switch to long-term later. We build suites that work for either strategy.
