WHY? SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE ALLOWED IN VANCOUVER!

Vancouver is facing a housing affordability crisis. We want residents to stay, live, and build a future in Vancouver. As part of the Housing Vancouver Strategy, our short-term rental regulations:

• Protect existing long-term rental housing and return more long-term rental housing to the market
• Allow residents to use their principal residence to earn additional income to offset their housing costs
• Provide safe and healthy accommodation options to support our tourism industry
• Helps us respond to any concerns about noise, garbage, parking, and safety
• Permit us to enforce against non-compliant and illegal operators who are using long-term rental homes as short-term rentals.
