Read this before you write an offer Being on the City's list is a zoning permission, not a strata permission. Kelowna requires a signed strata consent form before it will issue a short term rental business licence, and a strata can restrict or ban nightly rental in its own bylaws regardless of the zoning. You also need provincial registration. I check the strata bylaws, the rental and age restrictions, the depreciation report and the current licence status on every unit before my clients remove subjects.
