OUR VOICES SHOULD BE HEARD
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION SO OUR POLITICIANS ARE AWARE HOW WE FEEL
"Keep Legal Short Term Rentals in BC"
Request for amendments to the Short-term Rental Accommodations Act for Lawfully Operating Short-Term Rentals.
We appreciate the Act's intent to remove illegally operating short-term rentals (STRs), which may marginally contribute to increasing availability of long-term rental units.
However, we are concerned about the potential negative effects of a blanket application of the Act on the tourism sector, employees, and families who depend on lawfully operating STRs. We believe affordable housing cannot realistically be created from currently legal units with high operating costs. These units provide much needed flexible accommodations in communities across BC while boosting tourism and our economy.
