In the previous chapter, we talked about final inspections and occupancy approval. We walked through the final steps required for an ADU to receive its certificate of occupancy and become legally approved for residential use.

Once the ADU is completed, many homeowners begin thinking about the opportunities the new space creates.

One of the most common uses for ADUs is rental income.

For many homeowners, renting an ADU can help offset mortgage payments, generate long-term income, and improve the overall financial performance of the property.

In this chapter, we’ll explore how renting an ADU works and what homeowners should consider before becoming landlords.
