Do I Need Airbnb Licence?

Different countries, states and cities have different licensing requirements. As a host it is your responsibility to comply with these requirements if you wish to engage in short-term rental activity. Typically, Airbnb licence is required in municipalities that have bylaws regulating rental activity. Another important point is checking with your strata bylaws to make sure short-term rental is permitted in your building.

As of today Airbnb licence is required in the City of Vancouver, however, rules continuously change so you must first check if your municipality permits short-term rental. With that being said, once you receive your licence you can legally operate a Airbnb rental and have a significant edge over competitors who have dismissed Airbnb licensing.
