Welland is getting set to launch their new short-term rental licensing program.
The new rules go into place on January 31st.
Owners renting out a dwelling for 28 days or less will be required to have the license.
It does not apply to bed and breakfasts hotel/motels, or boarding or lodging houses.
The license will cost $1,029 in the first year and a $75 renewal fee the following years.
