During our SSTIR Crazy Month Rolf Blizzard from Atlantic Realty in the Outer Banks said… “If you don’t have regulations in place, or are not currently dealing with regulation issues, know that it is coming to your location”. For many property managers and owners in British Columbia, the announcement of new rules limiting short-term rentals to primary residences and in communities under 10K people, came as a surprise and had them scrambling to organize a response. The Property Rights BC Association was formed in October 2023 to advocate for property rights in reaction to the BC Government’s Bill 35 which became the Short-Term Rental Accommodations Act on 26th October, 2023. Orion Rodgers, the Owner & Operations Manager at Coast & Host Vacation Rentals is the spokesperson and he joins Heather on this episode alongside Jayne McCaw of Jayne’s Luxury Rentals in Ontario, and the organizer of April’s CanStays Rental Alliance Conference in Banff, Catherine Ratcliffe. This conversation explores how to take action and engage with stakeholders and offers plenty of advice to anyone, anywhere in the world, who is experiencing the threat of unfair legislation and needs to know how to start tackling it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We need your help to prevent STR bans and unreasonable regulations!!!
