Once you are registered, add your registration number to your listing by going to Listings, selecting the listing you want to add it for, and add the number under Regulations.

Municipal regulations

A permit or certificate may be required by certain municipalities. You should review these requirements with local officials to determine if they apply to your activity.

Zoning by-laws

Some zoning by-laws in a municipality in the province of Prince Edward Island, such as Charlottetown, may apply to your listing. We recommend that you check with your local municipality to determine whether your listing is impacted by such regulations.

Other contracts and rules

As a host, you need to understand and abide by other contracts or rules that bind you, including leases, co-op rules, HOA rules, or other rules established by tenant organizations. For more information, consider contacting your housing authority (such as a community council) or landlord. Your lease (or other contract) might also provide specific details.
