Dear Forum,
I am considering dividing my father’s apartment into two separate living units. The goal is to have one part available for personal use and to rent out the other part (for example, to a student, via Airbnb, etc.). Ideally, both units should have their own bathroom including a toilet and a small kitchenette. I understand that this will involve significant construction work, especially since the floor plan (see attachment) may not be ideal for this purpose. Primarily, I want to find out whether it is even feasible to separate the space in terms of structure and plumbing, and if so, how it could be done.
I would appreciate any feedback and am open to all ideas!
Thank you very much and best regards from Vienna!

In my last message, I already mentioned that in case of renting out, only the room with the kitchen will be rented (for example, to an exchange student), while the other room remains available for the owner’s use.What is the point of this? How do you plan to rent to someone long-term who basically only gets a shared flat room, while the other room remains unused? On the other hand, if you use the empty room (for what purpose? — private moments with a partner while your spouse stays home with the child?), and you want to go to the bathroom, someone might suddenly be sitting there...Since we don’t know your reasons and dividing the property into two separate units is not possible, you can’t expect a reasonable answer here.
