Property Rights Association of BC has been defending and advocating for the rights of lawfully operating short-term rental owners since Bill 35, s36 was introduced in October of 2023. Over the course of several months, we have made significant inroads within all levels of government.

Property Rights BC is a Legitimate Organization. Our official status is an Incorporated Member-Funded Non-Profit Society governed under the BC Society Act. 
Property Rights BC is our trade name but you can find us and our bylaws registered as "West Coast Association for Property Rights." 

In October 2023 we began exploring our legal options and retained law firm Cox Taylor, leaders in property law to do the legal research into the B.C. government's new STR Act set to come into effect May 1, 2024.

​With that research complete, we are now raising the funds needed to move forward and challenge the STR Act on behalf of all of BC’s lawfully operating STR properties in the event that advocacy efforts are unsuccessful.

We will continue our efforts towards collaboration and advocacy, but should this not prove successful, we all need to be prepared.

​We have a goal of March 1st to complete fund raising for legal challenge. A delay in funding completion will mean a delay in action. 

The Ask

​Members are encouraged to give to their ability but the recommended amount for those who operate a single unit is $750.

If we are unsuccessful in raising
​the $150,000 then 100% of funds will be returned to the sender.
