'Anyone who's looking for an affordable place to live knows how hard it is, and short-term rentals are making it even more challenging,' Premier David Eby said in a statement.
VICTORIA — The British Columbia government has introduced new legislation aimed at increasing badly needed rental housing, in part by forcing those offering short-term accommodation to live on the property they're renting.Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon introduced the bill Monday in the legislature, saying there has been "an explosion" of short-term rental units and the legislation will target areas with high housing needs.
Most of the rules will apply to communities that have a population of 10,000 or more, and a provincial host and platform registry will be established by late next year. Premier David Eby said the number of short-term rentals has ballooned in recent years and the government is taking action to reduce “profit-driven mini-hotel operators” by bringing in new enforcement tools.
