Short-Term Rentals
# Short-Term Rentals
##
### Learn about short-term rental requirements in the City.
##
A short-term rental (STR) is the rental of a furnished bedroom or a self-contained residence (includes a toilet, bathroom, sleeping and living area, and a cooking facility), for less than 90 consecutive days. STR listings are commonly found on online platforms, such as, Airbnb, Vrbo, FlipKey, Booking.com, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace amongst other advertising and listing mediums.
Principal residence means that it is your residence, and that you are able to prove that you live there for at least 183 days per 12-month licensing period. STRs can only be operated in your own residence, plus one additional rental unit (e.g., an authorized secondary suite, or a coach house) on the same property. Under the Provincial regulation, operating an STR is not permitted outside of your principal residence.
The City will only grant a business licence if you meet the eligibility requirements. See the requirements in the "How to Qualify for an STR Business Licence" drop down menu.
## Resources for STR Operators
For information on the City's requirements to operate an STR and how to apply for a Business Licence, please review the following support materials:
* Bookmark cnv.org/ShortTermRentals for regular updates
* Download the Operator's Handbook (PDF)
* Read the Frequently Asked Questions (PDF) or view in the drop down menu below
* Contact City staff with inquiries at [email protected] or 604-982-9675
### How to Qualify for an STR Business Licence
### To be eligible for a Business Licence, you must meet the following conditions:
* Comply with the Provincial Short-Term Rental Accommodations Act.
* Comply with the City's Zoning Bylaw 1995, No. 6700. The City will review each application and determine compliance with the Zoning Bylaw.
* The STR must be operated solely in your principal residence. This may include your own residence (such as a bedroom), plus if applicable, one additional rental unit (e.g., an authorized secondary suite, or a coach house) on the same property.
