This law looks nice on paper, but in practice is another thing. I don't know how the enforcement it's done, but anecdotally a friend moved from Calgary to Vancouver for work and the company rented him an Airbnb apartment, the whole place for him, even the building have signs that the Strata forbids Airbnb.

It's pretty much a brand new law (as of May 1) so we're yet to see what the level of enforcement is.

Vancouver has had its own Airbnb bylaws (that the Provincial rules crib from) for years but bylaws are easily ignored and Vancouver's enforcement ability was very low. No real surprise to hear that someone in Vancouver was breaking the Vancouver Airbnb bylaws.

The Province does have much more ability to enforce the law that a city. So will be interesting to see.
