Is your basement apartment legal? Discover Canada’s 2026 requirements, permits, and safety rules before starting your project.

For a basement apartment (often referred to as a secondary suite) to be considered compliant in Canada in 2026, several requirements must generally be met, including those based on the National Building Code of Canada and applicable municipal bylaws. Common criteria typically include a minimum ceiling height of around 1.95 m (6 ft 5 in), egress windows providing a minimum unobstructed opening of approximately 0.35 m² per bedroom, and proper fire separation between units.
