Legal Suites
What Is a Legal Suite?
A Legal Suite is a self-contained living space within a single-family home that includes its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. Legal Suites must meet municipal and provincial building codes, zoning regulations, fire safety requirements, and soundproofing standards to be approved as “legal.”
Unlike illegal or unauthorized suites, legal basement suites come with long-term security and peace of mind. They allow you to rent your space legally, avoid fines or penalties, and increase the resale value of your home significantly.
Why Invest in a Legal Suite?
Adding a Legal Suite is one of the best investments you can make as a homeowner. Here’s why:
01
Generate Rental Income
Earn passive monthly income by renting your suite to a tenant. Legal suites are in high demand, especially in [Your City] where housing options are limited.
02
Increase Property Value
Homes with legal suites typically sell for significantly more. It’s an investment that pays off now and in the future.
03
Support Multigenerational Living
A legal suite provides privacy and independence for extended family members while keeping everyone close.
04
Comply with Bylaws and Codes
Avoid the stress and risk of having an unauthorized suite. We build legal suites that meet all requirements from Day One.
