WHAT DOES GRANNY FLAT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Secondary suite

Secondary suite is an urban planning term for an additional separate dwelling unit on a property that would normally accommodate only one dwelling unit. A secondary suite is considered "secondary" or "accessory" to the primary residence on the parcel. It normally has its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom and living area. Such a suite often is one of the following types: ▪ A suite above a rear detached garage, ▪ A suite above the main floor of a single-detached dwelling, ▪ A suite below the main floor of a single-detached dwelling. ▪ A suite attached to a single-detached dwelling at grade, or ▪ A suite detached from the principal dwelling. In many municipalities, secondary suites are illegal because they do not conform to the zoning or land use district the property is in, they have been developed without the proper permits, or they do not meet the local building code. However, some localities only prohibit the renting out of secondary suites, and allow occupation by a relative or guest, leading to the use of the term "mother-in-law" house or apartment.
