A couple of open houses are being held over the next couple of weeks dealing with the short term rental market.

The City of Kenora says it’s seeking feedback about the need to regulate the market.

Short term rentals deal with the rental of private properties on sites such as VRBO and Airbnb.

Right now the city doesn’t have any control over short term rentals, but estimates there are over 90 in the Kenora area.

The first session will take place on Thursday evening in the Rotary Room at the Moncrief Construction Sports Center at 6 pm.

The second will be a week later on July 20th.

Anyone who wishes to attend tomorrow night’s meeting is asked to pre-register by tomorrow at the end of day.

In addition, the city will be setting up a table at the Matiowski Farmer’s Market this Wednesday so the public can learn more about the issue.
