What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The City of Charlottetown has a rule requiring short-term rentals to be the owner's primary residence. Meanwhile, P.E.I. is cracking down on short-term rentals, and its enforcement unit found 242 illegal operations. Federal money was made available through the Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund to help municipalities enforce these rules.
