A stretch away from home should not mean organizing every guest arrival yourself. If you live in a Mississauga home, tell bnbHost how you want to use it while you are away. We consider management enquiries property by property, starting with the City licence, the space and the dates you want hosted.
Start with the licence and the 180-night limit
Mississauga licenses short-term rentals only in the operator's principal residence. The City issues a single licence per person, valid for a year at $283, and caps short-term rental at 180 nights in a calendar year. The application includes proof of residence, a police check and an inspection you attend in person.
You can offer the whole unit or part of it, but only the space where you live: accessory buildings cannot be rented, and separate unrelated parties cannot book the same nights. The City stepped up enforcement in November 2025, introducing penalties of $500 to $1,000 after it found that 510 of 1,554 verified short-term rentals were licensed.
Tenants and condo owners
Tenants can apply with the owner's signed authorization. A condo unit needs proof of the condo board's permission, and the Condominium Authority of Ontario confirms that a condo corporation can restrict short-term rentals in its governing documents.
Operating rules to plan around
- Licence before listing. The by-law prohibits advertising or brokering an unlicensed short-term rental, and a listing must come down within 24 hours when the City asks.
- Your licence number. Show it in every advertisement and on guest receipts.
- Safety on site. Post an evacuation plan at the entrances and exits, follow the Ontario Fire Code, and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms every year and after each change of guest.
- An emergency contact. Someone must be reachable 24 hours a day throughout each stay.
- Insurance. The licence calls for $2,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance naming the City as an additional insured.
- Records. Keep rental records for three years.
- Accommodation tax. A 6% Municipal Accommodation Tax applies to stays of 30 days or less, collected and remitted by the operator unless the booking platform collects it.
- Parking. Street parking is not allowed between 2 am and 6 am, and daytime street parking is limited to five hours, so give guests the parking that belongs to your home.
The details that make a Mississauga stay work
- Airport arrivals. For guests flying into Toronto Pearson, give the actual route from the terminal to your door.
- Port Credit and the lake. Port Credit GO, at 30 Queen St E, connects with MiWay buses. Describe your own nearest stop rather than a general area.
- A workable building handover. Agree elevator access, fobs, keys and visitor parking before accepting arrivals.
- A controlled calendar. Track the nights used against the 180-night limit and keep the dates you need the home separate.

Your address, the type of home, your proposed dates, any existing Mississauga licence and the condo-board or owner permission that applies. Avoid sending identity documents in the first message. We will discuss whether the home can be accepted and what needs to happen first.
