You invest in property, you take the risks, you help build neighbourhoods.

But when a moratorium like the one on Rue Prévillé is imposed on scant data — fewer than ten unique complaints, nearly half from two neighbours

Every investor in town gets the message: your asset can be regulated out of existence overnight.

That uncertainty discourages upgrades, developments, and growth in Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez.

What This Decision Means for Investors?

• 📉 Risk of sudden regulatory change: A blanket restriction imposed in Spring 2024 without consultation sends a signal that assets can be frozen regardless of individual compliance.

• 🕒 Impact on returns: When investors cannot reliably forecast rental income or future use of properties, maintenance, improvements and expansion plans stall.

• 🧱 Capital lock-in and supply uncertainty: Studies indicate that STR supply growth is faster in rural and smaller markets — meaning investors are choosing places like ours for opportunity, but regulation risks eroding that edge. CJur

Why It Matters for Our Town?

Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez needs investment.

Investment in properties means jobs (trades, maintenance, cleaning services), visitor stays translate into spending at local businesses, and upgraded homes elevate neighbourhood standards.

If investors see that regulations can change overnight, that pipeline dries up.

The result: fewer visitors, less revenue, stagnating services — and the town pays the price.

What Investors Support

We’re not asking for immunity — we’re asking for certainty. We support:

• Transparent regulatory frameworks with clear timelines for changes.

• Advance notice and consultation for any widespread policy changes.

• Proportionate enforcement (targeting bad actors, not every responsible owner).

• Predictable tax and zoning environments so investments are viable and sustainable.

You hold value in your property, your business plan, and your vision for growth. Don’t let sudden policy shifts turn that into liability.

Learn how to engage, protect your interests, and build for a community that values investment, growth and fairness.
