WHAT’S HAPPENING IN TRENT LAKES

The Municipality Trent Lakes has recently implemented a new by-law designed to ensure that Short-Term Rental Accommodations (STRAs) are managed responsibly and enhance the quality of life for everyone in our community.

The by-law includes an updated process for registration, safety standards, and operational procedures. Our goal is to support you through this transition and ensure that you’re fully compliant with the new requirements.

Residents and Property owners who wish to rent, advertise or offer for lease their single detached dwelling for a period of less than 28 consecutive days, are required to register as a STRA with a fee of $350.00 with an annual renewal of $250.00.

For further information on the by-law and how it might impact you, please review the links below or reach out to our team at development@trentlakes.ca.
