A friend runs a charter fishing company and that works as a license for airbnb as well. He has no issues with his listings.

You need a business license but it also has to be your principle residence. You also can't rent out secondary suites like basement suites, as they want those to be full time rentals only.
Most condos also don't allow short term rental in their bylaws and the business license cost went up to $1000 this year.
For all these reasons, most people have pulled their air bnb listings & the pricing has gone way up on hotels.
