What about the money I could make renting the ADU?

Rental income is a major benefit of having an ADU or JADU on your property – for many people, it provides flexibility in their budget or an opportunity to grow their savings. Our ADU Calculator  can help you estimate how much rental income could be generated by your new unit. Note that many locations do not allow ADUs to be rented for less than 30 days at a time – confirm with local Planning staff in your community.
