Complete Vancouver rental license support from start to finish
Licence-type triage
We help you determine whether you need a long-term rental business licence (90+ days) or short-term rental business licence (<90 days) based on your rental situation.
Document checklist & intake
We collect and organize all required documents: government-issued IDs, strata/landlord approvals, incorporation documents, authorization letters, and safety compliance records.
Fee estimation & payment
We calculate and explain City fees (long-term: $98 annually per dwelling unit; short-term: $77 application + $1,108 annual) and help you understand the total cost.
Online application workflow
We guide you through the City's online application portal, ensuring all steps are completed correctly and documents are submitted in the required format.
Display licence requirements
We ensure you understand and comply with City requirements for displaying your licence (single unit: in unit; multi-unit: accessible common area).
Compliance reminders & renewals
We track renewal deadlines (short-term rentals renew annually by December 31) and send reminders for record-keeping requirements, including annual safety inspection/test records.
Safety compliance support
For short-term rentals, we help ensure you meet safety requirements: interconnected smoke alarms, CO detectors, fire extinguishers, fire plan posting, and inspection records.
Provincial STR registry guidance
We inform you about the Province of BC short-term rental registry requirements and help you understand the additional steps needed beyond the City licence.
