Given the new Vancouver bylaws, here is how you can Airbnb your Vancouver condo legally:
Step 1:
Review the building’s bylaws document. If rentals are allowed, is there a minimum lease length requirement. If not, then short term rentals would be permitted.
Step 2:
New Vancouver bylaws say that you can Airbnb your condo only if it’s your primary residence. The City says you must reside in this residence at least 180 days per year.
Step 3:
Apply for a short term business license from the City. You will need the license number to add to your Airbnb posting.
You can now begin renting your space for less than 180 days per year for periods of less than 30 days.
