Question 9

What is the difference between a legal suite and an in-law suite?

Accepted Answer

A legal secondary suite has been permitted and inspected by the municipality and meets building-code requirements for a separate dwelling — it can generally be rented out, and lenders may count its income toward mortgage qualification. An in-law or unauthorized suite hasn't been through that process; many function well, but the city can require upgrades and lenders may treat the income differently. If the suite matters to your plans, confirm its status with the City and your lender.
