RCMP are warning people with short-term rentals to be cautious when accepting clients as the legislation around short-term rentals in B.C. changes this spring.
Prince George
“We have had instances over the last six to eight months where landlords with short term rentals have found their clients to be involved in criminal gang activity,” Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP, said. “It becomes difficult for the landlord to evict these types of clients off the property once they are already in the home and either stay past their contract date or are found to be in violation of the rental terms. The resolution usually requires police involvement at that point.”More information on B.C.’s upcoming short-term rental accommodations legislation can be found at B.C.'s short-term rental accommodations legislation - Province of British Columbia .
