Letting in Montreal
Rules and licensing
Quebec requires a CITQ registration number, displayed in the listing, and since 2023 the platforms must verify it. Most boroughs restrict short-term letting to specific streets, and a principal-residence rule applies to the rest.
Tourist tax
3.5% lodging tax, collected by the platform.
How the year is shaped
Festival summer is the peak — Jazz Fest, Osheaga, the Grand Prix weekend — with a quiet, cheap winter apart from New Year.
Who books here
Weekend visitors from Toronto, New York and Boston, festival crowds, and a substantial student and academic market in September.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
