We figured we'd at least get one of our suites legalised so whoever it was can't call us in again but no bueno from the city - we meet all the requirements except for a parking spot. Our parents (both sets) are eventually going to live with us so getting snitched on and evicting our parents is not the goal.

If you claim rental income on an illegal suite you can still write off the maintenance costs. That’s what we do.
In hindsight I would have just taken cash and not claimed it however we spent so much in the first 2 years it was nice to get a big chunk back

So when they say "makes all secondary suites legal" that means even those that don't meet building/electrical/plumbing/fire codes?
I mean it's one thing to say a suite's illegal because it doesn't have a dedicated parking space, it's a completely different thing to say a suite is illegal because it doesn't have correct fire separation or proper egress exits...
So who evaluates this? Sounds to me like the government still has some figuring out to do.

So who evaluates this? Sounds to me like the government still has some figuring out to do. | Has to meet building code but cities can add other rules (like parking minimums or arcane things like rooms have to be a certain size or it has to be below ground etc) to slow down the legalisation of suites.
The province is creating a fund to help owners renovate their suites to meet secondary suite standards - in exchange renting it at below market rates they'll forgive the loan after 5 years.

Like.. no joke the younger guy living in the unit was like yah this is my place, you gonna buy it? I guess I better find a new place to live soon...
I went back at night time a second time to see how it was at night for noise etc. and she did the same thing AGAIN... made the renter show me the unit.
Totally useless piece of shit realtor. I didn't buy it just because she was selling it and I couldn't fathom giving her any commission money for doing less than nothing.
I ended up just sitting on the couch watching hockey with the renter and having a drink with him and just laughing about how sad of a realtor she was.

You can technically apply for a DVP or BoV to try to get around the parking requirement.
