1.  Each additional residential unit shall have one parking space that is provided and maintained for the sole use of the occupant of the additional residential unit, subject to paragraph 2.

2.  Where a by-law passed under section 34 of the Act does not require a parking space to be provided and maintained for the sole use of the occupant of the primary residential unit, a parking space is not required to be provided and maintained for the sole use of the occupant of either additional residential unit.

3.  A parking space that is provided and maintained for the sole use of the occupant of an additional residential unit may be a tandem parking space.
