I still don’t know who reported me and why. By the way the bylaw offer told me they knew there are lots of Airbnb operating in surrey but they only chase after the one who got reported by someone. Seems like they are not really following any regulations themselves. I called city of surrey license office today to ask if they have any regulations on Airbnb and the answer I got was “if we didn’t mention it in bylaw it means we don’t allow it!” I was very upset for this answer because this answer is technically wrong. After that day I received three letters from them to tell me that I am not allowed even apply business license on my house (RF-G zoning) and I have to shutdown my illegal business and wait for heir inspection. They told me they will conduct inspection and take further action. Two weeks after I had my first guest two city bylaw officer showed up at my door and told me someone reported me running illegal bed and breakfast. Before I started list my house I even checked some article on news to see if I will be getting into trouble and I did see on BIV quoted surrey planning development department “there is no regulation specifically aiming on short term rental in surrey”. I am a new host from surrey and there are no regulations in surrey for short term rental as well (nothing written in bylaw).
