Building without a permit can lead to a number of problems in the long run. If the city finds that you’ve built, added on, remodeled, or have done renovation changes to your home, they may have you tear down the newly renovated space, or not allow you to use that space. To be able to use the space or not have to tear it down, you may have to make costly repairs to ensure you’re up to code.

If you’re unsure if your project requires a building permit, please contact us. We would be happy to answer this question for you. They will be able to help you and will be available throughout the process for any questions you may have.

A finished basement turned into an apartment has the potential to provide extra revenue. Since basements often contain mold, poor air quality, and other unsafe features, due care must be taken to design the basement for making it safe for the tenants.

Basements can be legalized for homeowner’s own use or as a Second Unit for renting. Second Units currently provide an affordable housing option for many in the GTA including Brampton and Mississauga, as they allow tenants to rent smaller spaces at affordable prices.

A Second Unit is defined as a self-contained rental unit in a detached or semi-detached house subject to zoning requirements and other restrictions. A Second Unit is a residential unit located within a house and it may be in any part of the house, including the basement.
