Secondary suites are intended to be used as a long-term rental home. There are two scenarios in which an approved secondary suite can be used as a short-term rental accommodation: 1) The property owner lives in the suite 2) A long-term rental tenant lives in the suite and has received property owner’s permission to obtain a short-term rental licence and rent the property for stays of less than 30 days. NOTE: Secondary suites that have not been approved through the City’s permitting process are not legal dwelling units and not eligible for short-term rentals.
