Basement Suites provide a flexible housing option for people who need a place to live but don’t want or need a separate standalone unit, often referred to as shared accommodations. However, it’s important to be aware of any legal considerations that may be involved if it is not a legal suite, but has a kitchen and improper venting.
Currant building codes must be met to call the interior space a legal basement suit. This may include requirements for things like fire safety, structural integrity, and accessibility. Envy works with its clients to help educate the understanding of building codes, zoning regulations, and tenancy laws.
In Edmonton, a legal secondary suite is a self-contained living space within a single-family home that meets certain zoning. These requirements include things such as having a separate entrance, proper fire safety measures, and adequate parking.
