Add a bedroom to single family house

[Lina Vezzani-Katano]

Can you add a 3rd bedroom in an already rented out 2 bedroom single family house? Do you need the permission for the tenants who already live there? Can you then increase the over all rent, but still low enough so that the current tenants wouldn’t be paying more than what they are paying now?

[Eliott Elias]

This is a long shot. Construction like that is a major liability with tenants in place. I would wait till the lease ends and do this addition
