An Edmonton rental can be highly profitable—but it takes preparation. Here are essentials to protect your investment:

Business License Requirements
 Edmonton owners need a Short-Term Rental Business License, renewable each year, to legally rent via platforms like Airbnb.

Zoning Regulations
 Check zoning carefully. Not every Edmonton property allows short-term rentals, so confirm before investing.

Short-Term Rental Insurance
 Protect your investment with specialized short-term rental insurance. Standard homeowner policies won’t cover the risks.

Local Taxation & Reporting
 Edmonton properties must comply with Alberta’s Tourism Levy. Avoid costly fines by properly registering and remitting.

Property Management vs. Self-Management
 Want to maximize returns without stress? Lifty Life’s Edmonton team manages guest bookings, cleaning, and pricing—while you relax and profit.

From property selection to consistent profits, Lifty Life helps Edmonton investors every step of the way.

What Our Homeowners Have To Say.

Directly from a full service homeowner client of ours:

“We have had Lifty Life manage our vacation rentals for the past year and we are totally at ease letting them handle bookings, marketing, and customer care. I can see the reviews on airbnb that our guests leave and they almost always mention Connor and his excellent communication. We switched over from another management company and now we know the difference between mediocre management and marketing and great management and marketing! We are making significantly more money now.“

It is very common for homeowners to have some initial questions so we wanted to provide them upfront for you to review.

Getting started is simple because we do the heavy lifting. Here’s how it works:

  1. Initial Contact: You reach out. We schedule a call or property walkthrough. We learn about your property, your goals, and what you need from us.
  2. Contract Review: No surprises, no fine print. We go through our contract with you, making sure everything is clear and straightforward.
  3. Compliance Check: Airbnb and short-term rentals have rules. We help ensure your property is compliant with licensing, zoning, and insurance requirements so you don’t run into issues later.
  4. Optimization & Listing: We take professional photos, write high-converting descriptions, and set dynamic pricing to maximize your bookings.
  5. Go Live: Your listing goes up, bookings start rolling in, and you begin collecting passive income while we handle everything else.

That’s it. No stress, no guesswork. Just results.

Yes, absolutely. Your property, your rules. But here’s how to do it the right way:

  1. Book in Advance – Your calendar fills up fast, so lock in your dates early. We won’t cancel existing guest reservations to make room for last-minute owner stays.
  2. No Nightly Charge, Just Cleaning – You don’t pay a rental fee when you stay, but the cleaning crew still has to work their magic before the next guest arrives. The cleaning cost gets deducted from your next payout.
  3. Easy Access Through the Owner Portal – No emails or back-and-forth phone calls. Just log in, select your dates, and you’re all set.

This setup keeps things smooth for you and ensures an uninterrupted experience for paying guests.

Yes, Airbnb rentals are allowed—but Edmonton has clear rules you must follow. Pay attention to these essentials:

  • Zoning Requirements – Edmonton properties must meet specific zoning guidelines for short-term rentals. Verify zoning carefully or let our team confirm compliance for you.
