Registration
In the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, the law requires that anyone seeking to provide accommodation to tourists for periods of 30 days or less must have a registration number issued by the Province. Note that Hosts operating from their primary residence are not required to register with the province.
You can consult Newfoundland and Labrador's website for more information on how to file an application with the Province or reach out to them directly at 709-729-2835.
Newfoundland also asks Hosts to display their registration number on their listing. To obtain a registration number, complete your application. 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
Municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador may have certain regulations that apply to you. You should review applicable local regulations and 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 Newfoundland and Labrador 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.
