The City of Saskatoon's building permit record decides whether a unit's rent can be underwritten by a buyer's lender. A legally converted suite with a separate entrance and proper fire separation is worth substantially more than one that was simply built out informally, even on the same street with the same finishes.
Westmount's older housing stock also means age-related mechanical and structural items are more likely, so a $400 to $600 home inspection is worth budgeting into the sale from the start rather than treating it as a formality. Any existing tenancy is governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
