What is a Secondary Suite?
A secondary suite is also known as an in-law suite, accessory unit or basement apartment, a secondary suite is a self-contained, independently accessible private unit within an existing home that can be rented out to another person or family. While most are found in basements, others are added onto the original structure. These spaces have their own bathroom, kitchen, and living areas, and may share certain amenities with the rest of the home (like a laundry area, yard, or storage).
