Garden suits are small detached dwellings that can be built on the same lot as a single-family home. Garden suits are also known as granny flats, laneway houses, or accessory dwelling units. They can provide affordable housing, extra income, or space for family members or guests.

However, garden suits are subject to municipal zoning bylaws and building codes, which may vary depending on the location and size of the suit.

The expenditure incurred on building garden suits may qualify for Tax Credit.
