You can use a legal suite as reported income for your mortgage or other loans/credit.

Also the land lord has more protection with a legal suite.

You can get tax write offs on the your improvements/repairs on the suite.

Cons wise you have to pay tax on the income.

As a renter it doesn't matter really, you're protection extends under the tenancy act regardless.
