Yup, your friend lives in my area and this is the problem with it. You have people treating these houses like apartments, if there renting out the basement they are not allowed to rent out the coach house and vice versa. There is seldom spots to park on the streets because of all the renters, that part doesn't bother me to much unless I have guests. The fines are huge if you get caught renting both.
I don't have a coach house and I don't think I want to rent my basement out way to many horror stories. I have a teacher on one side and a cop on the other and both have had there fair share of shitty tenants.
