Vancouver draws the line at 90 consecutive days.
Yes. BC defines a short-term rental as a stay of less than 90 consecutive days, and Vancouver’s short-term licence uses the same line. A furnished stay of 90 consecutive days or more is outside both, so an investment condo can host it without a short-term licence.
For stays under 90 days, check Vancouver’s licensing rules and the applicable provincial registration, principal-residence requirements and exemptions. Do not assume a short stay is allowed from the advertised rental price alone.
A stay of 90 days or more may be a tenancy under the Residential Tenancy Act, depending on the facts and the agreement. We tell you how each stay is set up before you sign.
