Airbnb ads, city stats show Vancouver's short-term rental rules being increasingly broken
The city's rules for operating short-term rentals have been in place since 2018, but there are new questions about how these are enforced.
Airbnb's are simply much more profitable than long term rentals. That needs to change, somehow (so landlords have more of a decision to make before throwing all their weight behind Airbnb).
Airbnb rentals should be subject to safety inspections for things like fire hazards / egress and if there's a kitchen food safety, inspect for mould and fungus, etc.
Whatever inspections and certifications a hotel needs, an Airbnb should be required to pass the same.
Get rid of AirBNB! Should never have existed.
The folks who own these properties are Ken Sim's voters so I doubt anything is going to actually change.
