Owning a rental in Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods, built up around Main Street. Many of its older houses have since been divided into several suites, and new rental and condo buildings now rise along Broadway and Main.

At its northern edge, Olympic Village adds newer concrete condos on the False Creek waterfront. South of Broadway, the South Main stretch mixes character houses, walk-up apartments, and small strata buildings.

Renters here want Main Street’s cafés, breweries, and studios, a short ride to downtown, and easy access to the hospitals on both sides of the neighbourhood.

Who rents in Mount Pleasant

Which rental fits a Mount Pleasant home?

In Vancouver, one rule decides most of this: nightly stays (under 90 days) are only allowed in a principal residence. Any other home can still be rented furnished for 90 days or more, or long term.

Usually eight months or longer

Long-term

Typically the best fit for suites in converted houses and for rental-style condos. Mount Pleasant renters often stay for years.

Investment condo? Yes.

90 days or more

Mid-term

Furnished Olympic Village and Main Street condos often suit healthcare stays and relocations of 90 consecutive days or more.

Investment condo? Yes, subject to your strata’s bylaws.

Under 90 days

Short-term

Only where the home is your principal residence and your strata bylaws allow it.

Investment condo? No. Principal residence only.

The licence, principal-residence, tax, and strata rules are the same across the city: Vancouver rules, in plain language.

What Mount Pleasant owners should know

Houses split into several suitesOne building, several tenancies: each suite needs its own lease and records. +

Main Street between 6th and 12th Avenues has been the neighbourhood’s centre since development began in the late 1880s, and many of the older houses around it were converted into multiple suites over the decades.

We run each suite as its own tenancy, with separate screening, rent, and maintenance records, and one statement for you. Shared heat, hot water, and laundry are written into each agreement, and we keep notice periods right for every unit when work affects the whole house.

The new St. Paul’s Hospital is opening next doorThe new hospital in the False Creek Flats is scheduled to open in 2027. +

Providence Health Care is building the new St. Paul’s Hospital on the Jim Pattison Medical Campus in the False Creek Flats, bordered by Station Street, Prior Street, Trillium Park, and National Avenue, a few minutes’ walk from Main Street-Science World Station. It is scheduled to open in 2027. We expect it to bring more healthcare staff, patients, and families looking for homes close by, and furnished 90-day stays are built for that.

Broadway Subway and the Broadway PlanMount Pleasant and Great Northern Way-Emily Carr stations are scheduled to open in 2027. +

Mount Pleasant Station is at Broadway and Main, and Great Northern Way-Emily Carr Station is just north of Great Northern Way at Thornton Street. Both are part of the Broadway Subway, scheduled to open in 2027.

Mount Pleasant between 1st and 16th Avenues is inside the City’s Broadway Plan, which guides new housing and jobs around the subway over 30 years. Since 2022 the City reports more than 8,400 net new homes approved across the plan area, so expect more new rental buildings nearby.

Selling or redeveloping with tenants in placeIn the Broadway Plan area, renters can qualify for enhanced relocation protections. +

If you sell to a developer or redevelop a rented house, the City’s Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy can apply to the rezoning or development permit. In the Broadway Plan area it includes enhanced protections, and it can cover renters in houses, suites, laneway homes, and condos when lots are consolidated for a new building of five or more units.

We keep tenancy records clean and current, which makes that process easier if you ever need it.

Homes we manage in Mount Pleasant

Common questions

Mount Pleasant owners ask.

Can you manage a Mount Pleasant house that has been converted into several suites? +
Yes. Artin Properties manages each suite in a converted Mount Pleasant house as its own rental, with a separate lease, tenant screening (a credit check with consent, ID, income and employment, and a previous landlord), rent collection, and maintenance. Shared utilities and laundry are written into each agreement, and you receive one monthly statement for the whole building. You approve each tenant before anyone moves in.
When does the new St. Paul’s Hospital open, and is it near Mount Pleasant? +
Providence Health Care says the new St. Paul’s Hospital is scheduled to open in 2027. It is in the False Creek Flats, bordered by Station Street, Prior Street, Trillium Park, and National Avenue, a few minutes’ walk from Main Street-Science World Station and just north of Mount Pleasant. Artin Properties expects it to bring more healthcare staff and patients’ families looking for furnished stays of 90 consecutive days or more nearby.

What happens to my tenants if I sell my Mount Pleasant house to a developer? +
Tenancies continue under the Residential Tenancy Act until they are lawfully ended. If the buyer applies to rezone or redevelop, the City of Vancouver’s Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy can apply, with enhanced protections in the Broadway Plan area. It can cover renters in houses, suites, laneway homes, and condos when lots are consolidated for a new building of five or more units. Artin Properties keeps the tenancy records that process relies on.
