Allow cottage rentals in Ontario
Donation protected
SHOULD YOU BE ABLE TO RENT A COTTAGE IN ONTARIO?
WE THINK SO.
We are a community of responsible hosts who share their homes and cottages with families, friends, and travellers wanting to experience beautiful Tiny. We take pride in our homes, work with people in the community and bring value to the township. We respect our neighbours, follow the rules and want to embrace and be part of the community.
Ontario's Tiny Township wants to (effectively) ban cottage rentals. In August 2022, Tiny Township passed a by-law that effectively eliminates the ability of most cottage owners to offer their properties for others to enjoy. This move departs from tradition and looks to limit access to what has historically been a vacation area.
We want to work with the township to find a mutually agreeable path forward. We welcome sensible regulation that removes ghost hotels and party rentals - but still allows cottage rentals that are respectful of the community and its tradition.
We are challenging this by-law.
THIS FIGHT IS FOR ALL OF ONTARIO
We are raising funds to help us cover the cost of this challenge. While this fight is specific to Tiny, it will set a precedent for all of Ontario. Other townships are taking notes and are likely considering using Tiny’s bylaw as a template. We are part of a special Ontario community that makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the wonders of our great province. We want to continue this tradition of sharing our homes and cottages with others, whether it is for relaxation, recreation, work, or study.
If you have a cottage you rent, or if you are a renter looking to visit different parts of Ontario we are asking for your support.
Every donation helps!
Your contributions will be spent solely on legal fees incurred as part of our challenge. Any unspent funds from the GoFundMe campaign will be donated to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
