Co-owner says city staff, in enforcing new rules around short-term vacation rentals, may have mistakenly denied the renewal

Victoria city council has overturned a decision by its inspector to deny a business licence to a bed and breakfast whose owners say it was mistakenly caught up in a crackdown on short-term vacation rentals.

Linnitt said he and co-owner Ashley Ceraldi are “strongly supportive” of the measures taken by the province and the city to tackle the housing crisis, including prohibiting short-term rentals that aren’t in a principal residence. According to the submissions from both sides in the dispute, the business was denied a transient accommodation business licence.

The city also argued that, because of the unpermitted renovation work, the building no longer qualifies as a single-family dwelling and, as a result, does not comply with the use allowed under the RK-8 Bed and Breakfast Zone.
