Short-Term Rentals - Feedback to the City of Calgary



The City of Calgary invites all Calgarians to participate in an online survey from August 26 to September 30, 2024, to share your feedback and help shape short-term rental (STR) regulations. The purpose of this study is to examine market characteristics, public perceptions, operational challenges, and the impact short-term rentals have on our housing market.


“Feedback from Calgarians enhances our understanding of challenges and opportunities in Calgary’s short-term rental market,” says Antonio Faiola, Manager, Business Experience. “We will incorporate the input we hear from Calgarians and present recommendations to Council in December.”


As part of a multi-year study in collaboration with the University of Calgary (UCalgary) through the Urban Alliance partnership, the Short-Term Rental Study will provide The City with the necessary information to implement appropriate regulations for Calgary. Phase 1 of the study, launched in October 2023, included an online survey, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews with interested parties, operators, and hosts. The “What We Heard” report from Phase 1 is available at engage.calgary.ca/STR.


“It’s important we engage Calgarians as we continue to evolve our regulations to align with The City’s priorities related to housing, economic development, downtown revitalization, hospitality, and tourism,” adds Faiola.


Stay informed and share your input by visiting our dedicated website at engage.calgary.ca/STR. You can also explore the number of licensed short-term rentals in Calgary via the interactive map tool.
