Garden Suite
Garden suites, also known as detached accessory dwelling units, are now permitted in Toronto.

What is it?
They are intended to be modest-scale separate housing units located in the rear yard of a principal residence, providing a solution for housing loved ones, generating rental income, or gaining additional live-work space

Housing Options
The implementation of garden suites is part of the City of Toronto's initiative to expand housing options in residential neighborhoods

Diversification of Housing Options
Garden suites contribute to the expansion of housing options in residential neighborhoods, addressing the city's housing needs and promoting urban density

Property Value
The addition of a garden suite can raise the value of the property by tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, providing a substantial return on investment
Zoning Requirements
