Two Toronto homeowners have been charged with making their properties available for short-term rental and thus could face fines up to $25,000 if convicted.
City Hall is currently looking into regulating short-term home rentals. It's estimated there are roughly 10,000 Toronto listings on the website Airbnb alone.
But the increasingly popular business of "home-sharing" is in many cases illegal in Toronto, as it violates city zoning rules.
Still, this is only the second time the city has charged someone with a short-term rental violation.
