Short Stay Tools for Landlords
We have assembled these tools for short stay landlords to help them with the many intricacies involved with running a short stay business. Guest registration is on the left-hand side of the page and resources on the right. Only original owers that have purchased from the Developer and who have a City of Kelowna business license are permitted to conduct short stay rentals.
Short Stay Registration
Register one guest per stay with a first name and phone number. This will give us immediate access to the guest if there is a problem. Also, we use this information to create a welcome letter that will give your guests info on pool rules, garbage, security services, etc.
