Hi Airbnb Community!
We have looked everywhere on blogs and forums... And haven't found anyone who went through the whole process of getting a licence for short-term rental in Vancouver BC.
The city and Airbnb make it look easy, in couple clicks, but when you read the requirements, it's not that clear...
Bed and breakfast licence allow only 2 bedrooms to be rented. And the short term one says "Allow only one confirmed reservation at a time", what does that mean? You can rent only one bedroom? Or you cannot double book one bedroom but you are allowed to rent more than one in the same house?
I'm seeing a lot of information, and often contradictory... Like the interconnected smoke alarms hardwired or not.. and in 5 years an automated sprinkler system? That's a lot to ask for a sharing economy!!
I need some feedback from people who went through the process of getting this licence.
Thanks for your time.
