How it works

The association functions by engaging in advocacy and lobbying efforts to influence legislation and municipal bylaws that affect short-term rentals. It keeps members informed about critical regulatory changes, such as provincial registration requirements managed by the CITQ (Corporation de l'industrie touristique du Québec).

The APLMQ provides its members with educational materials, legal updates, operational guidelines, and networking opportunities. It also works to improve the public perception of the vacation rental industry by promoting professionalism and compliance among hosts.

Why it matters

For vacation rental operators in Quebec, the association provides essential support and representation in a highly regulated and evolving market. Membership offers a direct line to understanding complex legal obligations, accessing professional development tools, and connecting with a community of peers.

By uniting hosts, the association strengthens their position in policy discussions, advocating for fair and practical regulations that support the long-term viability of their businesses.

Examples

• A host in Montreal joins the APLMQ to receive clear guidance on new municipal registration requirements and to access templates for their rental agreements.
• A property manager in the Eastern Townships uses the association's resources to train staff on provincial safety standards for tourist accommodations.
• A group of chalet owners in the Laurentians leverages the association's advocacy efforts to voice concerns about proposed zoning changes that could impact their operations.
• A new host in Quebec City attends an APLMQ webinar to learn best practices for guest communication and how to properly register their property with the CITQ.
