Join Elaine McCormack and Emily Sheard for a discussion on rentals and short term accommodation in strata corporations.
Rentals can be prohibited or limited in strata corporations by bylaw, but there are a number of exemptions to these bylaws and also a delaying provision for enforcement.
We’ll discuss the difference between “rentals” and “short term accommodations” and why the distinction is important for bylaw enforcement
The implications of Court and CRT decisions, and best practices for drafting and enforcing rental and short term accommodation bylaws will be covered.
We’ll focus on the law as it has developed thus far, and also discuss some potential changes to the legislation that are being discussed in BC.
Issues discussed will include:
• Permissible rental limits (number of strata lots rented, time limits on rentals, age restrictions)
• Which strata corporations cannot have rental bylaws
• Exemptions to rental bylaws
• Rentals vs. short term “rentals”
• Enforcement of rental and short term accommodation bylaws
