Representatives of the MUNSU say they're concerned about limited housing for students and low-income individuals this fall in Newfoundland and Labrador.
In a statement, a MUN spokesperson said university residences are nearing capacity for the fall semester, with fewer than 100 beds available. The spokesperson said family accommodations at Burton's Pond and graduate student accommodations at Macpherson College and Signal Hill Campus are full."We are encouraging all students to seek accommodations as soon as possible," he said.
According to AirDNA, a website that aggregates data from Airbnb and other sources, there are about 750 Airbnbs in the St. John's metropolitan area alone, with hundreds more in other parts of the province. The registry will mean municipalities can ensure short-term rental property owners are paying taxes and following municipal regulations. The property owners will have to follow tourism accommodation guidelines, which unregistered property owners are not currently subjected to.
