Hands-off, passive rental income

It is your principal residence, and you live there while it operates.

Nightly stays in a spare room of the home you live in, with photography, the listing, every guest message, screening, and in-house cleaning. Coquitlam licenses short-term rentals as room rentals only, run by a resident who lives there. We confirm eligibility before anything is listed.

You have a furnished home and want fewer turnovers than nightly stays.

Furnished stays of three months or longer for people who need a home for a while. A stay of 90 days or more is outside BC’s short-term rental rules and is not a City short-term rental, so an investment condo can be rented furnished, subject to your strata’s bylaws. A furnished stay this long can still count as a tenancy under the Residential Tenancy Act, depending on the agreement, so we confirm how each stay is set up before it starts. Our in-house team resets the home between stays.

Coquitlam rules, in plain language

Open any topic for the detail. We check all of it before anything is listed.

Short-term rentals (under 90 days)Rooms in a home you live in, with a City licence and an inspection. +
  1. The provincial principal residence requirement has applied in Coquitlam since May 1, 2024.
  2. The Province allows a principal residence plus one suite. Coquitlam is stricter: only rooms in a home you live in, with no separate kitchen. A suite, laneway home, or whole home does not qualify for the City licence.
  3. The City requires a home-based business licence and an inspection.
  4. A permanent resident of the home must live in and operate the rental.
  5. Up to two guests or one family at one time, in less than 40% of the home’s floor area. Shared cooking facilities are allowed.
  6. Register with the Province, and show the registration number on every listing.

Stays of 90 days or moreOutside BC’s short-term rental rules, and not a City short-term rental. +

BC’s short-term rental rules, including registration and the principal residence requirement, apply only to stays of less than 90 consecutive days.

Coquitlam’s zoning treats renting a home to travellers for up to 60 days as tourist accommodation. A furnished stay of 90 days or more is a residential use.

A stay this long can still count as a tenancy under the Residential Tenancy Act, depending on the agreement, and strata bylaws can still apply. We check both first.

Speculation and vacancy taxCoquitlam is in the provincial tax area. There is no City empty homes tax. +

Coquitlam has no empty homes tax of its own. It is in the Province’s speculation and vacancy tax area, so owners declare every year. A rented home can qualify for an exemption if tenants live there at least six months of the year under written tenancy agreements. We can supply the tenancy records; the filing stays with the owner.

Strata bylawsA strata cannot ban long-term rentals, but it can still limit short stays. +

Since 24 November 2022, a strata corporation must not restrict or ban long-term residential tenancies. A strata can still limit or ban short-term rentals by a three-quarter vote of owners, and may set a fine of up to $1,000 a day for a breach of that bylaw. That is a strata bylaw, not a City of Coquitlam ban. We read the bylaws before a listing goes up.

Common questions

Before you sign.

Can I short-term rent an investment condo in Coquitlam? +
No. The provincial principal residence requirement applies, and the City only licenses rooms in a home where the operator lives. An investment condo can still be rented furnished for 90 days or more, or long term, and we manage both.

Do 90-day furnished stays need a City licence in Coquitlam? +
No short-term rental licence is needed. Coquitlam’s licence covers rooms in a home where the operator lives. A whole home rented furnished for 90 days or more is a residential use, and BC’s short-term rental rules do not apply. It can still count as a tenancy under the Residential Tenancy Act, and your strata bylaws can still apply, so we read them first.

Can I switch my home between short-term, mid-term, and long-term later? +
Yes. One team runs all three, so if your plans change, the rules change, or the season changes, we can move the home to a different rental length without you starting over with a new manager. We check what the address and the bylaws allow before every switch.
Does Coquitlam have its own empty homes tax? +
No. Coquitlam has no empty homes tax of its own. It is in the Province’s speculation and vacancy tax area, so owners declare every year, and a home rented under written tenancy agreements for at least six months of the year can qualify for an exemption.

Can a Coquitlam strata still ban long-term rentals? +
No. As of 24 November 2022, a strata corporation in British Columbia must not have a bylaw that restricts or bans long-term rentals. A strata can still limit or ban short stays. That limit is a strata bylaw, not a City of Coquitlam ban. We read the bylaws before listing.

Province of British Columbia: Strata short-term rental bylaws

What does tenant screening include in BC? +
In B.C., landlords can ask applicants for verifiable income and employment, references (preferably from a previous landlord), and photo ID, and can run a credit check with the applicant’s written consent. Artin runs these checks before recommending any tenant, and shares the results and its recommendation with the owner before any lease is signed.

How are maintenance and repairs handled in a managed rental? +
The standard a manager should meet: nothing non-urgent happens without owner approval, and emergencies are acted on immediately.
