The Town of Canmore is cracking down on illegal vacation rentals, and property owners caught breaking the rules are facing thousands of dollars in fines.
After an awareness campaign this summer informing residents of the rules surrounding short-term rentals, the town began issuing tickets — three $2,500 fines so far.
"You need to have a permit to allow you to rent your house in that short-term fashion. And these properties don't have that authorization," said Canmore planning and development manager Alaric Fish.

Not sure how I feel about this. I currently have a place rented for March (legally apparently) but I know others will be looking and out of luck. My brother lives in town and is having a hard time to find a place to buy due the housing crunch so I understand where they are coming from.
