The applicants sought to quash licensing by-laws enacted by the Township of Tiny to restrict short-term rentals (STRs), arguing the by-laws were a disguised zoning by-law and ultra vires the Municipal Act.
The Court found the by-laws were a valid exercise of municipal authority, rationally connected to legitimate objectives such as health, safety, and consumer protection, and not a disguised zoning by-law.
The application was dismissed.
