[quote=Anonymous]We have an in-law/au pair suite in our home, which was there when we moved in (I posted earlier about whether we should get rid of it). The prior owners rented it out, and others on our row rent their basement suites out. Personally, I would find the noise downstairs (as a tenant) to be unbearable. You hear every floor creak, conversation, etc. Likewise, as the upstairs landlord, I'm sure I would hear my tenant too. My SIL lived in a basement apartment for a while, and hated it because of the noise. However, there is obviously a market for them. A separate entrance would help with the privacy issue. Also, the downstairs was configured in a way that the family and the tenant could both access the laundry room without crossing into the other person's space. [/quote]
