B.C.'s premier sold a condo in Victoria that was popular among Airbnb users; Opposition members suggest he profited from the very practice he is trying to curb.
Two political parties drew lines in the sand on short-term rental laws Tuesday in Victoria, as matters got personal.
Eby responded by saying the Opposition was trying to turn the legislation into “Swiss cheese” whereby a truck could drive through such loopholes. Eby explained that he bought the condo as he worked in Victoria; otherwise, he was renting a place in Vancouver, as his wife attended medical school; the two have gone on to have two children. He said, in the legislature, that the sale proceeds helped pay for tuition costs.
Reeve said Eby’s now-former building had a dedicated short-term rental management service and suggested the Airbnb opportunity increased its value.
