host Vs cohost

[Rajiva0]

Hello I just started to host my house in Vancouver canada. I wanted to know what is the difference between hosting yourself or getting someone to host on behalf of you and pay them. I want to know advantage and disadvantage? In vancouver you can not use your laneway home or basement for airbnb this is what i was told by the city or county. Is there a way to run your listing while it is hidden from the city of county's' eyes?
