ADU Training

What are ADUs?

ADUs are a great way to add more affordable housing to your community. They are secondary structures, usually consisting of a separate unit that is attached to or located on the same property as the primary dwelling. ADUs can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a home office, guest house, or an apartment for rent.


Why build an ADU?


There are many reasons why you might want to build an ADU. Perhaps you need more space and don't want to move, or you want to provide a place for your parents or adult children to live. ADUs can also be a great way to generate income by renting them out. Finally, they can help reduce the amount of housing demand and homelessness in your community.

Zoning and permitting requirements


Before you start planning your ADU, it's important to make sure that it will be allowed in your area. Zoning regulations vary from place to place, so be sure to check with your local government before you get too far along in the planning process. You may also need to obtain a permit before you can begin construction.


How can you get started with building an ADU in your community?


If you're interested in building an ADU, the first step is to check your local zoning regulations to see if they allow for this type of structure. Once you've done that, you can begin the process of obtaining the necessary permits. Finally, you'll need to find a contractor who can help you build your ADU.

By Kyle Chernetsky • September 17, 2025
Key Takeaways Service Animals Cannot Be Denied: Even with a “no pets” policy, landlords must provide reasonable housing accommodations under the ADA and FHA. Companion Animals Receive FHA Protections: Emotional support animals are not pets, and landlords must allow them in housing, though they do not have full public access rights. Landlords Have Defined Duties and Limits: Owners must waive pet fees and consider disability-related accommodations, while tenants remain responsible for care, cleanliness, and preventing damage. As a landlord, you have the right to create your own pet policy on whether to accept pets into your property or not. But even with a “no pets” policy, did you know that you cannot reject a service animal? Certain federal, state, and local laws require that rental property owners accommodate service animals. In this blog, our experts at C&C Property Management share everything you need to know regarding renting to tenants with service animals. Including the legal protections tenants with assistance animals have, types of assistance animals, and landlords’ responsibilities regarding service animals.
