Why Toronto Homeowners Need Garden Suites

Owning a home in Toronto comes with rising mortgage rates, high property costs, and limited space for growing families. At the same time, rental demand across the GTA is at an all-time high — and your backyard could be the answer.
A garden suite in Toronto is a smart, legal way to:

  • Earn steady rental income to offset your Toronto mortgage payments
  • Create an independent living space for aging parents or adult children
  • Boost your property value and future-proof your home
  • Contribute to Toronto’s housing solutions without buying new land

The challenge? Toronto zoning bylaws, permit approvals, and construction risks stop many homeowners before they even begin. That’s where ARU comes in.

Why Building a Garden Suite in Toronto is Hard Without Experts

Even though the City of Toronto now allows garden suites on most residential lots, many homeowners never start because:

  • Toronto zoning rules and lot requirements are confusing
  • Permit applications take months to navigate
  • Garden suite contractors and architects are hard to coordinate
  • Financing options aren’t always clear or accessible

With Additional Residential Units, you don’t have to worry — we’re your single garden suite builder in Toronto from start to finish.
