What is an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU), a Secondary Dwelling Unit (SDU), or a Garden Suite?

An Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) or Secondary Dwelling Unit (SDU) is a self-contained residential unit on the same property as a primary residence. These units can take many forms, such as basement apartments, converted garages, additions or located in accessory buildings on the property.

A Garden Suite, also known as a “coach house” is a detached unit typically situated in a back or side yard. a “Laneway house” is located in the backyard and has access to a common laneway.

These units offer homeowners significant benefits, including the opportunity to generate rental income, increase property value, provide housing for extended family members, or create accessible living options for seniors.

By utilizing under-utilized spaces, homeowners can maximize their property’s potential while contributing to the supply of affordable housing in their communities.
