We had a short term lease with a woman who is living in our carriage house, the lease is written that the term is a 3 month lease, with automatic renewal for up to 3 months, month -to month. 

I'm looking at a deal that is 3 bed/2 bath but that includes a main house w/ 2&1 and a carriage house with 1&1, the property also has a 2 car detached garage.

The 1st is the carriage house/garage, and the 2nd is the main house.Thanks!

Their illegal duplex (or carriage house) was doubling the density on their SFH lot.

If not (or even if you have, and you'd be willing to move), you should look for a home with a basement apartment with a separate entrance or a home with a carriage house out back.

In Chicago it's common for multi-family buildings to have a coach house behind the main building, which 120 years ago was legitimately for storing your horses and carriage, but now has been converted to an additional unit (sometimes very nice).I worry that this basically brings me twice the expenses/maintenance.

We have a carriage house that we were planning to put on home away or other site similar for weekend rentals.

If you find a home with a basement apartment or a carriage house out back, that's gold because those uses are considered accessory to your primary residence and are allowed under Denver's Airbnb law.

I was always a bit leery when my agent made me get two policies on my duplex that is one house and a separate carriage house.
