Very Investor friendly
Ottawa explicitly permits short-term rentals in most residential zones and provides a clear, business‑friendly framework with a simple $100 annual digital license and no meaningful caps. Compliance obligations (safety equipment, local/state taxes, and modest penalties) are straightforward and predictable for investors.
