Overview of the provincial principal residence requirement
B.C. has a provincial principal residence requirement in some areas of the province which limits short-term rentals to:
The home where the host lives for a longer period of time in a year than any other place
Plus one secondary suite or accessory dwelling unit on the same property
Accessory dwelling unit
An accessory dwelling unit (often referred to as an ADU) is a self-contained living unit with its own kitchen, sleeping area, and washroom facilities, and which is located on the same property as a dwelling unit. An accessory dwelling unit is sometimes referred to as a garden suite, laneway home, carriage house or garage suite.
