Plain English

Multi-unit housing means using land for more than one dwelling. It includes dual occupancies, townhouses, apartments and other developments containing two or more homes. The term describes the land use and number of dwellings; it does not tell you whether the dwellings have separate titles, share one title or are rented by one owner.
