In our first sotry today, California ADU laws have been softening for several years in an effort to increase housing space and availability. ADUs are often used as rentals, which can help alleviate some of the pressure on rental supply. However, what it doesn’t do, is increase general housing supply, as ADUs are considered a part of the primary residence, where only one person can own it.
