They are going to try and tie in AirBnB regulation with this as well (sort of). Since places wouldn't be considered occupied when you have 20 of them renting them out as full time AirBNBs. To get around it you will need a business license for each unit, which is also taxed. Business license #'s must be displayed on the temporary rentals website under the listing. Business licenses can only be obtained with permission from your strata. They think they can free up another 2000+ rentals this way as well. AirBNB is running an insane ad campaign here that mostly pisses off every Vancouverite I know in my echo chamber of EVERYONE UNDER 35. I work at one of the big Universities here. It is crazy biking in the summer through affluent ghost neighborhoods. Lots of the older big houses that were tore down were rentals to like 6-8 students at a time, or had basement suites. Now they are empty boxy white McMansions.
