hi everyone,

I recently bought a townhouse in centreville. The house is too big for me and my wife. So we are thinking of renting out a basement. But the problem is we don't want to share our kitchen as my wife is vegetarian and she cannot tolerate the smell of any thing else than chicken. I know it is very difficult to rent a basement without access to kitchen. I want to know if we can built a separate kitchen in the basement by law. Is is allowed in Fairfax county?

Thanks for taking time to read this post.

Why don't you check the county website or make a phone call? That will give you the most accurate information.

You may be in an area where renting is illegal. Check that out, first. Then, you'll have to get building permits if you are adding a kitchen to your home, so check with the permitting office!

I would be hesitant to rent a basement unless you had a recent copy of your radon inspection report.

Why don't you rent the basement to another vegetarian? Put something to that effect in your advertisement.
