WHAT ARE GARDEN SUITES?
NOW PERMITTED IN TORONTO!
Garden suites are detached secondary dwellings located in the rear yard of a principal residence. They are intended to be a modest-scale separate housing unit that integrates sensitively within existing residential neighbourhoods. The garden suites by-law extends the current detached secondary suites permissions to properties across the city. Garden suites promise to be a perfect solution to housing loved ones, generating rental income, or gaining additional live-work space, while increasing housing flexibility and value on your property.
