The City of Mississauga is working towards ensuring safe and reasonable secondary units which do not adversely impact the character of neighbourhoods, and are properly maintained.
There are many facets to a proper and legal basement apartment; proper means of egress, fire safety, safe and visible paths and points of entry, and parking are a few.
Some houses are more amenable to having secondary units, not all houses can be transformed or should be.

If you are looking for a house with an existing secondary suite that is safe, rentable, and will maintain its value, or to purchase a home and create a basement apartment, we can guide you in choosing a suitable property and ensure your choice is compliant.
