Can I legally rent out my basement in Milton?

Legally renting a Milton basement requires the space to meet building code for a rental unit, including proper egress, ceiling height and separated utilities, plus whatever permits Milton's building department requires for that use. Renting an unpermitted space carries risk for both the owner and the tenant if an issue like a fire or injury ever comes up. Milton's planning and building department is the source to confirm current requirements, since Georgia has no single statewide rule covering this.
