Short term rental type 2

Type 2: Self-Contained Suite on Principal Resident Property

Rent up to two fully self-contained suites on a property where the owner lives and is present during guest stays.

A Type 2 STR is a fully self-contained separate suite on the principal residence property. This may be a basement suite, garden suite, carriage house or other legal self-contained dwelling unit. The owner/long-term renter lives on the property and is present during guest stays. Proof of owner’s authorization is required if a long-term tenant is the STR operator. 

Examples of Type 2 units:

  • Basement suite
  • Garden suite
  • Carriage house
  • other legal self-contained dwelling unit.

NOTE: There is a limit of two STR suites per property. The property will require a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) if there are more than two STR accessory units and will pay an $1800 TUP application fee rather than the Type 2 application fee. If considered a Type 3, this type of rental will not be restricted to the finite number of approved secondary residence (Type 3) rentals.

View or download the Operator's Guide for complete information. 

Timeline

The application period for Type 2 permits is ongoing throughout the year.

One-time application fee of $200

Short-term rental business licence fee of $900/ year.
