Kingsville cracks down on short-term rentals [Video]

The Town of Kingsville has approved a by-law to regulate short-term rentals in the area.

Currently, there are approximately 182 short-term rentals operating within Kingsville.

The new by-law limits occupancy based on the number of bedrooms and common areas, with a maximum capacity capped at 10 people.

All short-term rentals will be required to have yearly fire inspections, and applicants must submit a criminal record check and show proof of insurance.

Kingsville’s Deputy Mayor, Kimberly DeYong, told AM800 News that there will be a 24/7 complaints hotline.

After one year, the by-law will be reviewed to determine if any changes need to be made
