Airbnb and short-term rental management

Gestion Velora handles full management of your short-term rental properties in Montreal. Reservations, cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication, all managed for you. Our team operates 500 units in total across Greater Montreal, with 24/7 availability for emergencies.

What the rules allow in Montréal

Before handing over a unit for short-term rental, check that it can legally be rented. Two layers apply: the City of Montréal (or your municipality outside Montréal) and provincial registration.

Principal residence, City of Montréal: renting to tourists is allowed only from June 10 to September 10, for a total of 31 days or less, with a City operating permit renewed every year. One reservation at a time, no meals served, and the owner must live on site.
Prohibited in Lachine, Saint-Laurent and Saint-Léonard for a principal residence. In Lachine, tourist rental of under 31 days is prohibited for any dwelling, principal or secondary.
Commercial tourist residence (a unit that is not your principal residence): allowed only where the borough permits it, often in certain sectors only, with a certificate of occupancy. Several boroughs prohibit it across their whole territory.
Provincial registration is required for any paid stay of 31 days or less: a municipal compliance document, liability insurance of at least 2 000 000 $ per event and, in divided co-ownership, the syndicate's authorisation form. 2026 fees: 54 $ for a principal residence, 156 $ for a general establishment.
