Want help running guest stays in your New Westminster home? The first conversation is about a bed and breakfast, not an empty investment apartment. bnbHost considers enquiries for the specific home and operating arrangement, then agrees what management can take off your hands.
Why New Westminster needs its own plan
The City says short-term accommodation is permitted only with a valid bed-and-breakfast business licence. Its B&B definition includes an operator living onsite and a daily breakfast for guests. The City's secondary-suite guidance also says suites cannot be used for short-term rentals.
A management agreement does not replace those requirements. If your plan is to leave the entire home empty while you travel, do not assume that another city's rules apply here. Confirm the address and proposed use before advertising.
Work out the guest experience before the listing
- Breakfast responsibility. Decide who provides it, where it is served and which food-service requirements apply to the arrangement. We do not presume that breakfast is included in standard management.
- Shared and private rooms. A clear floor plan helps describe what guests can access while the resident operator remains at home.
- Parking and arrivals. Check the B&B zoning conditions and the practical entrance guests will use; an arrival guide should match the actual property.
- Household boundaries. Agree quiet hours, storage, keys and how guest questions reach the responsible person.
The hosting work we can discuss
Booking management, listing presentation, pricing, photography, guest messages and changeover arrangements should serve the permitted B&B model. Our management overview explains the nine services; your review establishes the scope and delivery arrangements for this address before any work starts.
We do not show a New Westminster property count or claim a local office. You are speaking with bnbHost, a Vancouver company, about whether this particular home fits.
A written agreement before you hand over
Our management fee is 22% per booking, with property insurance included. We explain the calculation, insurance details, extra costs and responsibilities in your management agreement. Breakfast, onsite presence and any work you retain need to be clear; an enquiry does not commit you to a contract.
Send us the shape of your plan
Tell us the property address, whether you live onsite, which rooms you want to host and whether you already hold a B&B licence. We can then discuss acceptance and the work involved in your free property review.
The provincial requirements are separate: start with our BC rules guide. A home in Burnaby or Surrey needs that municipality's own review.
