Edmonton residents protest infill homes misused as unregulated short-term rentals, disrupting neighborhoods.
Residents in Edmonton’s McKernan neighbourhood are raising concerns about newly built multi-unit infill homes being used as short-term lodging houses, disrupting community life with constant tenant turnover and late-night activity.
Though the properties were approved for residential use, some are suspected of being converted into rooming houses with more units than permitted, including listings for hourly rentals that have since been removed.
City officials acknowledge the issue, with Mayor Andrew Knack stating hourly rentals violate regulations and that rules are under review.
The buildings, owned by Alberta numbered companies, are subject to stricter safety requirements if reclassified as lodging houses, but enforcement remains a concern.
