Levesque urged all short-term rental operators to adhere to the provincial guidelines. Rangers Retreat is a beautifully restored tutor style home located in Garrison Village. “The enforcement is really a town matter. Levesque said he’s not aware of any rentals that have been fined. The town also refused to provide information on how many fines have been issued to illegal short-term rentals so far. The Town of NOTL wouldn't provide information on how it is enforcing closures and monitoring for illegal operators. “Bookings have just cancelled themselves - 99 per cent of them,” he said. You can’t have 100 per cent control all the time,” he said.Īs far as the work to cancel reservations, he said it’s pretty much been automatic. “The vast majority of short-term rentals, especially the licensed ones, are following the rules. Levesque said he hasn’t received any backlash from members about the emergency rules. “Having availability is not a crime,” he added. “At the moment we’re following the provincial declaration of emergency guidelines in terms of dates,” Levesque said. The B&B association sent out letters to all members telling them to comply with the town’s restrictions on rental operations and has modified the association website so nobody can even search for availability until May 13. “Just report it to the town because they are the entity that can do something about it.” Social media is just not the way to make things happen if you notice something that you consider is not following the emergency rules,” he said. “I think the main message is to make people understand that just purely complaining about something is not going to solve the issue. He encourages anyone who witnesses short-term rentals continuing to operate to report it to the town. “The few troublemakers seem to be the places that did not get the memos, therefore all the illegals.” “I know for a fact that all our members are in compliance,” Levesque said.

Quite a few new rentals, some have been and gone already! I just don't get it, I want to get away too but clearly now is not the time!” said the post by Stephanie Tribe. We are just down the road from the Farmer’s Market, each Saturday morning in season – with a Supper Market on Wednesday nights.Even though the town has shut down short-term rentals due to COVID-19, there are continuing public concerns that some rentals are still operating illegally.Ī post on a NOTL-focused Facebook group said a resident in Chautauqua is continuing to see short-term rentals operating.
