my parents house went through a secondary suite house inspection last year. they have an asshole neighbour that works for the city so they decided to go through the process of legalizing their rental suite to avoid future issues.

from what I remember:
- there needs to be a self closing fireproof door that separates the suite to the main house
- the suite has to be >400 sqft
- the main entrance door to the suite requires a peephole
- if it's in a basement, there needs to be a minimum height requirement of how much below the ground it is
- doesn't require own breaker panel as some people have said

I can't remember any other stuff right now but if there's any questions, I'm sure I can ask my folks
