        "text": "A separate living quarters is a self-contained residential space on a property that includes dedicated areas for sleeping, personal hygiene, and basic food preparation or cooking. In home remodeling, these spaces are frequently designed as in-law suites, mother-in-law apartments, granny flats, guest suites, or accessory dwelling units (ADUs). The exact features depend on household needs and local zoning codes. A suite intended for aging parents, for instance, often emphasizes accessibility, such as curbless walk-in showers and wider doorways, whereas a general guest suite may prioritize privacy, a separate entrance, and independent climate control.",
