- Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights, Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake: family houses, often with a basement suite, and whole-house rentals.

What Burnaby landlords need to know in 2026
- Strata move-ins: most Burnaby towers require elevator bookings, fobs and a signed Form K from the tenant within two weeks of the tenancy. We book the move, collect the forms and brief the tenant on bylaws before keys change hands.
- Speculation and Vacancy Tax: Burnaby is inside the BC SVT zone, so every owner files a declaration each year. A home rented to a tenant for at least six months of the year generally qualifies for the rental exemption, and we keep the lease records you need.
- Short-term rentals: BC’s principal residence rule covers Burnaby, so an investment condo or house here can’t run as an Airbnb. Long-term tenancies are where the returns are.
- Rent increases: BC caps annual increases at 2.3% for 2026 and 2.2% for 2027. Each increase needs three full months of written notice on the RTB form, and you can raise rent once every 12 months. We track the dates for you.
