+1 and you have to make windows in every room (not 100% sure) among a few other things. Also your property tax will go up, hydro etc etc will also go up as well. If in the future you decide not to rent it out anymore and wants to pay a lower property tax you have to inform the city and they will come and cut some plumbing to the rental unit.
Also for cable/Interent. If they see you have a seperate kitchen/stove they will cut off the service to the basement unit and they tenate is require to setup their own acct or you have to pay for 2 accounts. This happen to my parent's house. Basically, the tenate was getting Internet/cable with us. They decided to get their own Internet and when Shaw came they cut off their cable service. So now if they want cable they have to pay for it.
