Feedback to the Rental Committee

Input to Community Issues Noise

Jan. 14, 2012

Below please find the material presented on Jan. 14, 2012 by the Short Term Rental Accommodation Committee. It has some background and material that came to light in their efforts to find information about the issue. It is important to note that the Licensing idea is fraught with problems for both Council and residents and has been identified by the Committee as the least preferred option.

The Committee explained the by-law changes they were exploring will provide for documentation of problems and an escalation of fines, (like the pink slip process for firings) to enable the municipality to take offenders to Section 477.1 of the Municipal Act. This requires the will to go there as well as the evidence. As well, Plan 24 has been chosen as a testing ground to develop a process for resolving the issue of problem landlords for the wider Lambton Shores community. It was apparent that Plan 24 is not the only area with problem rentals.

The meeting was well attended with approximately 80 people present in addition to those from the municipality identified in the presentation. We encourage you all to make sure you filled out a detailed form or send in more ideas to the committee. The LSCA has also sent in an official reply which is also attached.

After the meeting there was a smaller discussion with Plan 24 residents and some landlords.
