With summer tourism starting, rural regions around Campbell River are making changes to accommodate new provincial rules for short-term rentals.
This spring, to open access to more rental housing, the province banned rentals for less than 90 days in communities with more than 10,000 people, unless it’s a primary residence. Communities under 10,000 people have more options, and the Strathcona Regional District is poised to pass customized rules for Quadra and Cortez Islands, and Area D south of Campbell River.
Public meetings are coming for residents to review and comment on the new rules.
