I`m not sure what the city does in Calgary, however, in Edmonton, because of the housing problem the city in general are pretty open minded.
My Mom just had her six-plex investigated by Capital Health, they told her that she had to do some renovations to comply. According to Edmonton City Bylaw the building was only supposed to be a four-plex, so before she did the reno`s that were requested by Capital Health, she went to the city to see if there was going to be a problem with it being a six-plex. Without much probem she now has a letter in writing stating that she is allowed to leave it as a six-plex.
In Edmonton, Capital Health is pretty sticky. You just roll with the punches and do what they request, and all is well. It`s costing my Mom a few bucks in renovations, however, it`s a great investment.
My Mom is just moving her tenants around, as she has 1 vacancy in the building, and doing reno`s one suite at a time. These are long time tenants, they love living there, they love their landlord and all is going as smooth as can be.
My advice is not to panic, be upfront and honest, roll with the punches, and whatever the outcome, there`s always a solution.
Thanks Rebecca & Money, I was thinking what if after the inspection is done, few months later I try to put kitchen back, is it possibility or don`t even think about it?
Thanks
