True or false: Having a co-host manage your Vancouver Airbnb means giving up most of your rental income.
Running a short-term rental in a Vancouver strata requires you to follow three sets of rules at once. You must comply with the City of Vancouver, BC's Short-Term Rental Act (effective May 2024), and your building's strata bylaws.
Your strata corporation can impose significant fines for unauthorized STR activity under standard bylaws. If they pass a special vote, the fine increases substantially. These fines apply even when the city has approved your business licence.

Coal Harbour units typically rent at competitive market rates when occupancy levels are strong. Rates vary by unit type, view, and floor level. Following the rules correctly means you keep your income. Breaking them costs you your listing.

What Makes Strata Vacation Rental Management Different From a Standard STR?
Strata vacation rental management is different from regular short-term rentals. It has its own legal rules.
A detached house has one governing body: the city. Get a city licence. Follow city rules. That's all you need.
A strata unit has three governing bodies stacked on top of each other. Miss any one of them, and your listing disappears. Or fines arrive before you make your first dollar.
The City of Vancouver. Vancouver has required an STR business licence since 2018. You must use the unit as your principal residence — your main home. You can rent the whole unit when you're away, or rent just one room while you live there.
The Province of British Columbia. BC's Short-Term Rental Act started on May 1, 2024. It applies to larger communities in British Columbia. You must live in the unit as your principal residence. The province also requires you to register with a host registry. You must display your registration number on all listings. Airbnb and Vrbo will remove listings without valid registration numbers.
Your strata corporation. Your strata corporation is the elected council that governs your building. Under BC law, it controls how units are used, including short-term rentals. Your strata can ban STRs entirely, limit them to certain units, or allow them with specific conditions.
> "Most owners assume their city licence is the final word, but strata bylaws are a separate legal framework that operates completely independently — strata corporations have broad authority to restrict or prohibit short-term rentals regardless of what any other level of government permits." — Tony Gioventu, Executive Director, Condominium Home Owners Association of BC (CHOA)
Here is the legal rule most owners miss. BC law says strata corporations cannot ban long-term rentals — leases of 12 months or more. BUT this protection does NOT cover short-term rentals. Strata corporations can ban or restrict STRs with their bylaws. City approval and provincial registration won't protect you from a strata bylaw violation.
That's why strata vacation rental management is different from other property types in Vancouver.
Does Your Strata Corporation Actually Allow Short-Term Rentals? Here's How to Check Before You List
Most strata owners check the city's rules before listing. Few check their building's bylaw schedule. This mistake is the number-one cause of STR enforcement action in Vancouver.
A strata corporation's rules are in two documents: the bylaws and the rules. Both are registered with the government. Both are legal and can be enforced.
Here is the step-by-step verification process:
Step 1: Request the bylaw schedule from your strata manager. As an owner, you can ask for it. Call or email the strata management company — not just the council chair. Ask for the complete bylaw schedule, including any changes passed at recent annual meetings.
Step 2: Search the Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA). Strata plans and bylaws are filed online at ltsa.ca. Find your strata plan number on your title certificate. Search for your plan and download the registered bylaw package.
Step 3: Search the document for key terms. Look for:

在温哥华产权公寓（Strata）中经营短租，须同时遵守三套规则：《温哥华市条例》、不列颠哥伦比亚省《短租住宿法》（2024年5月起生效），以及所在楼宇的产权公寓附例。
根据标准附例，产权公寓委员会可对未经授权的短租行为处以可观罚款。若通过特别表决，罚款金额将大幅提升。即便城市已批准您的营业执照，上述罚款仍可适用。

产权公寓短租管理与普通短租有何不同？
产权公寓短租管理与普通短租经营存在本质区别，有其独立的法律规则体系。
独栋住宅只需面对一个监管机构：城市。取得城市执照，遵守城市规定，如此而已。
产权公寓单位则面对三个层级的监管机构。任何一个层级出现疏漏，挂牌都会被下架，甚至在您获得第一笔收入之前罚款就已登门。
温哥华市。 温哥华自2018年起要求短租经营者持有营业执照。您必须将该单位作为主要居所——即您的常住住所。外出期间可整租，或在居住期间出租一个房间。
不列颠哥伦比亚省。 BC省《短租住宿法》于2024年5月1日起施行，适用于不列颠哥伦比亚省较大社区。您必须以该单位为主要居所。省府还要求您在房东登记系统注册，并在所有挂牌页面上显示注册号。Airbnb和Vrbo将下架缺少有效注册号的房源。
您所在的产权公寓委员会。 产权公寓委员会是负责管理楼宇的民选理事会。根据BC省法律，它有权管控单位用途，包括短租经营。您的产权公寓可全面禁止短租、限制特定单位经营，或在特定条件下允许短租。
"大多数业主以为城市执照就是最终许可，但产权公寓附例是一套完全独立运行的法律框架——无论其他级别政府如何规定，产权公寓委员会均拥有广泛权力限制或禁止短租经营。" — Tony Gioventu，BC省公寓业主协会（CHOA）执行董事
这里有一条大多数业主忽视的法律要点。BC省法律规定，产权公寓委员会不得禁止长租——即12个月及以上的租约。但这一保护并不适用于短租。 产权公寓委员会可通过附例禁止或限制短租。城市审批和省级注册均无法保护您免受产权公寓附例处罚。
这正是产权公寓短租管理有别于温哥华其他房产类型的根本原因。

您的产权公寓委员会是否真的允许短租？挂牌前的核查方法
大多数业主在挂牌前会查阅城市法规，却少有人核查楼宇附例。这一疏漏是温哥华短租执法的首要原因。
产权公寓委员会的规则载于两份文件：附例（Bylaws）和规则（Rules）。两者均已在政府登记备案，均具法律效力，均可被执行。
以下是逐步核查流程：
第一步：向产权公寓管理方索取附例清单。 作为业主，您有权索取。请致电或发邮件给产权公寓管理公司——而非仅联系理事会主席。要求获取完整附例清单，包括近期年度大会通过的任何修订。
第二步：在土地产权与调查局（LTSA）进行检索。 产权公寓规划图和附例已在 ltsa.ca 在线归档。在您的产权证书上找到产权公寓规划图编号，检索该规划图并下载已登记的附例文件包。
第三步：在文件中搜索关键词。 请重点查找：
