Cottage owners pull rentals as new licensing rules affect Ontario

In order to comply with the bylaw, they would need to hire someone on-call who could respond to emergencies within an hour, and who could check the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors after every stay.

Wow, you mean you need to have someone who can actually respond to issues, particularly in a time-sensitive manner? Imagine that.

Hotels/Motels have extra fees they need to pay to the municipality, why should short term rentals be any different?

He went missing on Vancouver Island. A whistle and a makeshift sledge got him home

This reads super weirdly to me, and I can't tell if its just badly written, or if this whole scenario is ridiculously overblown.

The man told people when to call search and rescue, AND where his car would be, yet decided he should instead head off on foot (after cannibalizing his car) instead??

Prepping in an Urban Setting

Hi All,

I'm going to be moving soon from an outbuilding on a family property with plenty of space, gardens, and a clean creek into renting a 3-storey condo- style townhome in a small city 30mins away. There is no yard space, though I do have a small balcony.

What are some of the key preps that you all have or would recommend for a place like this? I have a number of things at my current house that I'll bring - mainly 1+week of food/water stores, but you never know what you don't know, so I'd appreciate input from anyone with other thoughts or ideas of things I should get.
