Episode Details

British Columbias privacy commissioner ruled against releasing addresses of short-term rental operators, citing privacy concerns and potential harassment risks. This decision came after a long-standing fight by housing advocate Rohana Rezel, who sought business licenses and addresses to investigate wrongful evictions. While license numbers are public, addresses remain protected. The city and Airbnb opposed the release of addresses due to fears of vigilante actions. Rezel, now a father, is shifting focus from frontline activism to data centers as the next housing battleground in Vancouver, as regulations continue to tighten.
