Yου wіll hаνе tο check wіth уουr local laws tο dесіdе whаt іѕ required. Mοѕt areas hаνе minimum standards fοr plumbing аnd such thаt уου wουld bе required tο retrofit іntο thе house tο convert іt tο apartments. Thе same goes wіth subdividing уουr backyard. Yου wіll probably hаνе tο gеt thіѕ approved wіth thе county аnd/οr local municipality.
Contact the building department at yout local city hall.

You will have to check with your local laws to decide what is required. Most areas have minimum standards for plumbing and such that you would be required to retrofit into the house to convert it to apartments. The same goes with subdividing your backyard. You will probably have to get this approved with the county and/or local municipality.

why not just rent the rooms and call it studios with full kitchen privileges because renters are going to want their own kitchen if your calling it an apartment. target college students because they will take your apartment as is and really won’t mind sharing the kitchen.

Hey!
Start off by checking into zoning in your city. You’ll specifically want to find out if you are in a multi-family or single family neighborhood.
You’ll need to hire an attorney to fill out the necessary paperwork, as well as filling out legal paperwork to start a business.
One of the fastest ways to do all this is to call a local realtor company that does property management. (example: Centurty 21 is most cities). They can be hired as a consultant through the process.
I don’t know where you are, but a local company here called Trimark Properties turned several large historic houses into rental apartments and studios. Check out their website at www.TrimarkProperties.com and see how they did it
