We just bought our first property this October -- a side by side duplex in Killarney. We suited both sides, but before we had moved any tenants into the basement the city served us notice to remove the kitchens. The neighbours have complained and let us know that "they are watching us because it is their neighbourhood". I understand where they are coming from as they have lived there for over 40 years and change is very difficult for many people. C`est la vie! We have rented both upstairs suites (one on a 6 mo. lease the other on a 1 yr.)
My question is what can I do with that basement space in the mean time? Can I rent them out as storage space, or will the neighbours have the right to complain about that? Am I able to offer the space to the upstairs tenants if they want to rent out the rooms in a room & board type scenario? Any input is greatly appreciated.
