Changes in B.C.'s Short-Term Rental Rules: The Impact on Airbnb and Housing Supply
The B.C. government introduced legislation with the objective of redirecting certain short-term rentals (STR) back into the long-term housing market. This initiative seeks to address housing shortages by repurposing some short-term rental properties to serve as stable, long-term homes for residents.
James and Denny share their opinions on the changes and talk about how they will affect different cities in different ways.
This episode will focus on short-term rental changes, what exactly these changes are, the effects on rental supply, cities with exemptions, distress sales and long-term rentals, effects on tourism, and the overall effects.

Rent Increases in B.C. Capped at 3.5 % for 2024
In B.C.'s competitive rental market, landlords will soon be permitted to raise rents for existing tenants by 3.5%, up from the current 2% cap. This change, however, remains below the inflation rate for the second consecutive year, a shift from past policies that allowed rent increases based on inflation or inflation plus 2% prior to 2018.
Denny and Monica explain what this all means for landlords and renters and share how this will affect the Vancouver real estate market.
This episode will focus on the 3.5% rent increase cap in BC, the cost of strata fees and insurance, the impossibility of being cashflow positive, how low-paying tenants affect sales, the need for more rentals, the importance of small-time investors, and how the government plans on helping.

Customer Reviews
Love the podcast!
Awesome podcast for Realtors and home buyers/sellers alike. I am a Realtor myself and have gained a ton of knowledge from James & Denny. They are clear and concise yet entertaining with their approach and give actionable advice without any fluff. I appreciate their value based approach with the podcast as many Realtors with the same level of experience and knowledge would not be as open and inclined to sharing, especially with the competition. But these guys are committed to giving back and raising the standard of industry as a whole. Definitely recommend this podcast to anyone interested in real estate, especially in the greater Vancouver area.
Passionate realtors sharing the ins and outs!
Real estate is something both James and I are very passionate about. Join us on our podcasting journey sharing things we have learned over the years in our real estate careers. This is NOT a stats show, but more of us sharing personal experiences... what’s worked, what hasn’t, how our business has evolved over the years.
We’d love to hear your feedback and definitely dm us if there’s something specific you’d like us to cover.
