But with a bit of planning and the right strategy, you can keep cool (literally and figuratively) during your summer move.

With Calgary’s growing population, housing demand, and updated zoning bylaws, many homeowners are looking to turn their basements into legal rental suites—and for good reason. A secondary suite can provide extra monthly income, boost your property value, and help address the city’s affordable housing shortage.
