Quebec cracking down on AirBNB and unlicensed tourist rentals

QU: A spokeswoman for Tourisme Quebec says the province is investigating 2,000 people for renting out their homes for short-term stays without a permit.
The goal, she said, is to ensure the safety of visitors to the province. Tourisme Quebec could not be reached for comment on the weekend.
Quebec isn't the only jurisdiction that has taken steps against home rentals.

He was ordered to pay a $2,400 penalty.
