Home to the University of New Brunswick
Fredericton is New Brunswick's capital and one of its most stable rental markets — a mix of provincial government employment, the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University, and a compact, walkable downtown along the Saint John River. That stability shows up in the vacancy numbers: Fredericton's census metro area has recorded some of the tightest vacancy rates the CMHC has tracked anywhere in the province.
Fredericton is also the only municipality in New Brunswick with an actual short-term rental bylaw on the books — it restricts STR use to owner-occupied dwellings and caps the number of rooms that can be rented out. Enforcement has historically been complaint-driven rather than proactive, which means the rules exist but staying on the right side of them takes attention.
That's exactly where TruHomestay adds value in Fredericton: we manage the leasing, maintenance, and guest or tenant communication, and we stay on top of the compliance side so you're not the one parsing bylaw language.

Market Insight
The tightest market in the province
Fredericton's rental vacancy rate hit 0.9% the year before the province-wide rate climbed to 2.9% — historically the lowest the CMHC has recorded for the city since it started tracking the metric in 1990. For owners, that scarcity is a strong argument for professional management: a well-marketed, well-maintained property in Fredericton rarely sits empty for long.
Know the Rules
Fredericton's short-term rental bylaw
Fredericton is the only city in New Brunswick with a specific short-term rental bylaw: units can generally only be rented for stays under 28 days if the host lives in the same building, and no more than three rooms in a single detached dwelling can be used for short-term rental. Enforcement is largely complaint-driven, but the rule exists — and we help owners structure their property to stay compliant rather than find out the hard way.
