An Australian family's plans to visit Kelowna in 2024 are in jeopardy due to new provincial legislation cracking down on short-term rentals. The family had already booked a two-bedroom apartment but may have to reconsider their trip if the legislation passes. The new rules aim to address the housing crisis by converting short-term rentals into long-term ones. The local tourism industry may also be affected by the potential ban on vacation rentals.

The Australian family decided to plan a trip back to the Okanagan in the fall of 2024 and have already booked their one-month-long accommodation, a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Kelowna.

“Obviously it would have a pretty big impact on our trip that we’re planning,” Harmon said. “We’d planned to spend about four months in Canada and Kelowna was a huge part of that trip.”
