BC will roll out its short-term rental regulations on May 1, impacting platforms like Airbnb, and it is hiring someone to take the lead on investigations.
BC’s Ministry of Housing is hiring a senior investigator to help facilitate the short-term rental regulations and investigate regulatory breaches.
The successful applicant would be paid $76,071.18 up to $86,658.48 annually, but the role has many requirements.
Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, investigation and enforcement, administrative law, criminology, or a related field. They must also have at least three years of experience conducting complex investigations.
Applicants from various BC jurisdictions, including but not limited to Burnaby, Kelowna and Victoria, may apply.

Some folks on X reacting to the post think the requirements might be a bit too steep.
“Minimum three (3) years experience conducting complex investigations.” For potential non-compliance with short term rental legislation? “Complex” seems a bit much, no?
