contradictory

I've removed this, as it refers to two opposite phenomena, if I readit correctly. OJ wasn't running a hotel, was he? Can anyone make sense of it, and reincorporate what is useful? BrainyBabe 15:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

==Guest House==

For Pakistani comedy drama, see Guest House (drama).

A guest house is a private home which has been converted for the exclusive use of guest accommodation. The owner usually lives in an entirely separate area within the property and the guest house may serve as a form of lodging business, similar to a bed and breakfast.

Perhaps the most famous example of an individual residing in a guest house was that of Brian "Kato" Kaelin, who was living in such a dwelling on O.J. Simpson's property at the time that Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman were murdered. His presence there led to his later participation as a witness in Simpson's criminal and civil trials.

Contradicotory

Dual Occupancy is the act of or haveing a secondary suite. Not the actual suite its self, if anything the dual occupancy article should overcome the secondar suite article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.65.157 (talk) 01:08, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I suggest that Dual Occupancy be merged into this article. In fact, once it is merged, I don't think there will be much left of it. --Jrsnbarn (talk) 20:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that the idea of Dual Occupancy has been adequately described in the single sentence in this article. I have provided a redirect from that article.--Jrsnbarn (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

terminology has changed a little

In the USA, the most common term for this type of dwelling among planners and architects is "accessory dwelling unit". Perhaps at a minimum there should be an "Accessory Dwelling Unit" page that redirects here. Or this page should be retitled "Accessory Dwelling Units" and expanded a bit. Here is a bibliography that has some examples of the usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.246.224 (talk) 00:05, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm creating an Accessory Dwelling Unit page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_flat

This is what we'd call a Granny flat in the UK, no? --scruss 03:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, Scruss. Granny flat redirected to Mother-in-law (dwelling), and so I've incorporated the latter (orphaned) article into the secondary suite article.--Jrsnbarn 13:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Accessory Dwelling Unit

Accessory Dwelling Unit has redirected here since 2012. I read clear arguments at Talk:Accessory Dwelling Unit that a separate article is not warranted. That article should not be re-created, at least not without demonstrating a consensus to do so on this talk page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:23, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
