Bug: When a strata hotel registration is renewed, the "Property/Unit Type" is not being copied into renewal

[victorc-bcgov]

Observed Behaviour

When a Host registration with a strata hotel PR exemption or a Strata Hotel registration is being renewed, the "Short-term Rental Property/Unit Type" is not being populated properly. During the renewal process, this field is read-only, meaning that the user cannot set this field to a valid value which is required to pass form validation.

Expected Behaviour

When a Host registration with a strata hotel PR exemption or a Strata Hotel registration is being renewed, the "Short-term Rental Property/Unit Type" will be populated properly.

Additional Details

@dimak1 and @thorwolpert This is the issue we've been tracking this week re: "Yellowpoint".

My investigation has taken me down a different path: I no longer think the issue is a browser error due to address validation, bur rather the improper "cloning" of data from a Year 1 application into a Year 2 renewal.

I did a quick look and see a bunch of StrataHotels renewing successfully.
I also see a bunch of HOST ones that have renewed with STRAT_HOTEL as the prExempt reason

[thorwolpert]

Here's one I pulled that successfully completed

        "unitDetails": {
            "hostType": "OWNER",
            "propertyType": "STRATA_HOTEL",
            "prExemptReason": "STRATA_HOTEL",
            "businessLicense": "LIC-XXXXXXX",
            "parcelIdentifier": "XXX-XXX-XXX",
            "strataHotelCategory": "MULTI_UNIT_NON_PR",
            "rentalUnitSetupOption": "DIFFERENT_PROPERTY",
            "businessLicenseExpiryDate": "2026-12-31",
            "strataHotelRegistrationNumber": "STXXXXXXX"
        },

Here is an example of a short-term rental property that can not be renewed successfully due to the missing mapping for property/unit type.

unitDetails from the Year 1 Application:

"unitDetails": {
	"hostResidence": "ANOTHER_UNIT",
	"isUnitOnPrincipalResidenceProperty": false,
	"numberOfRoomsForRent": REDACTED_BY_VICTORCH,
	"ownershipType": "CO_OWN",
	"parcelIdentifier": "REDACTED_BY_VICTORCH",
	"prExemptReason": "STRATA_HOTEL",
	"propertyType": "CONDO_OR_APT",
	"rentalUnitSpaceType": "ENTIRE_HOME"
}

unitDetails from the Registration:

"unitDetails": {
	"blExemptReason": null,
	"blRequired": null,
	"businessLicense": null,
	"businessLicenseExpiryDate": null,
	"hostResidence": "ANOTHER_UNIT",
	"hostType": null,
	"isUnitOnPrincipalResidenceProperty": false,
	"jurisdiction": null,
	"numberOfRoomsForRent": REDACTED_BY_VICTORCH,
	"ownershipType": "CO_OWN",
	"parcelIdentifier": "REDACTED_BY_VICTORCH",
	"prExemptReason": "STRATA_HOTEL",
	"prRequired": null,
	"propertyType": "CONDO_OR_APT",
	"rentalUnitSetupOption": null,
	"rentalUnitSpaceType": "ENTIRE_HOME",
	"strataHotelCategory": null,
	"strataHotelRegistrationNumber": null
}

@dimak1 Do you see anything values in the JSON stanza that are not handled by the current renewal logic? Specifically looking at the logic that pre-populates the "Short-term Rental Property/Unit Type" dropdown as shown in the Screenshots section.

[victorc-bcgov]

Closing this item as a known business gap because some of the Year 1 "Property/Unit Type" options do not have an analogue in Year 2.

Issue #1145 specifically covers the gap encountered by individuals renewing a short-term rental unit within a building with a strata hotel designation.
