Short-Term Rental Management in Downtown Halifax
The Diamond Rentals provides short and medium-term rental management in downtown Halifax and across the peninsula. We manage Airbnb and furnished monthly rentals for condos and homes, starting with a check of the zoning and condo rules that apply to your address.
City demand all year
The peninsula draws visitors for the waterfront, conferences, universities and hospitals, including Dalhousie, Saint Mary's, the QEII and the IWK. That mix brings tourists in summer and a steady flow of professionals, students' families and medical travellers in the rest of the year.
Zoning and condo rules come first
Some downtown and mixed-use zones allow short-term rentals more broadly than residential areas, and many condominium buildings have their own restrictions. We review both before recommending nightly or furnished monthly renting.
Halifax Regional Municipality's rules depend on zoning. In residential zones, short-term rentals are generally limited to the host's primary residence, while stays of 28 days or more are not treated as short-term rentals. We confirm what applies at your address before recommending a plan. Read our guide to the rules.

Results, in Numbers
We focus on what matters to owners: revenue and guest reviews.

Annual revenue was about $140,000 when we took over. It is now trending past $170,000, an increase of more than 21 percent.
Case study: Airbnb Superhost
We helped one owner earn Airbnb Superhost status, and the property has held it for five years running.
Results are based on our internal records for properties we manage, and averages are across our management clients. Individual results vary by property, location, season and market conditions, and are not guaranteed.
