Influencers and short-term rentals in Quebec (2026) · Reserver.ca

Working with influencers for a Quebec chalet requires transparency: clear disclosure of paid or gifted stays, a written contract (dates, image rights, exclusivity) and compliance with platform and advertising rules. A “free” stay without #ad disclosure hurts trust and reviews. Reserver.ca frames campaigns on partner CITQ chalets in the Laurentians, aligning calendar, cleaning and guest expectations after content goes live.

Disclosure and trust

In Quebec, audiences must understand when influencer content is sponsored if there is compensation (cash, stay, products). Use visible labels (#ad, “paid partnership”) in French and English as needed.

Contract clauses to adapt

1. Parties and CITQ property address.
2. Stay value and deliverables (posts, stories, reel).
3. Publishing schedule and required hashtags.
4. Image rights — who may reuse photos on the listing.
5. House rules: max guests, pets, noise, hot tub.
6. Cancellation and property damage.

Operational coordination

Block the calendar, plan extra cleaning and warn neighbours if the film crew is large. After checkout, inspect like any stay — see cleaning fees. Avoid unrealistic brief promises (guaranteed views in clear weather).
