TORONTO - Housing advocates and property owners squared off Monday at a housing tribunal in Toronto that will determine the rules regarding short-term rentals like Airbnb.
Regulations for short-term rentals were approved by Toronto city council in early 2018 but were appealed before they could be put in place. A delay in the appeal process last year put off the hearing until this week.
