With the number of multi generational households increasing, an in-law suite can be one way to accommodate the change. But creating one takes planning and understanding.
Faced with the dual realities of a struggling housing market and elders who need help, many homeowners are creating second dwelling units in their primary homes.
Often called in-law suites or granny flats, the units can provide private quarters for aging parents or act as rental apartments for added retirement income.
A mother-in-law suite has a much broader term now than it did just 20 years ago. Formerly considered only a small apartment in the backyard, the mother-in-law suite now has a number of different characteristics. It can be a separate structure, such as an apartment in the backyard, or a detached garage with an efficiency or apartment above. An addition to the existing house, either first or second floor, can qualify as an in-law suite.
In law suites will serve as lovely places for your old parents, in laws, or family members who will stay over to visit you and your family. Preparing a place in your home just for them will make them feel important and loved.
