Mississauga

When deciding whether to become an Airbnb host, it's important for you to understand the laws in your city. As a platform and marketplace we do not provide legal advice, but we want to provide some useful links that may help you better understand laws and regulations in Mississauga. This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good start in understanding your local laws. We’ll continue to update this information as more becomes available.

Registration

The City of Mississauga requires hosts to register with the city in order to engage in short-term rentals in the city. Hosts are responsible for applying for a business license online​ or in person at city hall.

Short-term rentals are allowed in principal residences only and hosts must provide proof of age, evidence that the listing is your principal residence and contact information for the city. Learn more about the bylaw.

Other contracts and rules

As a host, you need to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, including leases, co-op rules, HOA rules, or other rules established by tenant organizations. You should be able to find out more by contacting your housing authority (such as a community council) or landlord. Your lease (or other contract) might also have specific details.

Our commitment to your community

We are committed to working with local officials to help them understand how Airbnb benefits our community. Where needed, we will continue to advocate for changes that will allow regular people to rent out their own homes.
