Illegal Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

In California, contracts for an illegal purpose, such as a lease agreement for an illegal accessory dwelling unit, are unlawful and void. An illegal accessory dwelling unit is a unit with no certificate of occupancy. A landlord is not entitled to collect or request rent from the tenant in an unpermitted, illegal unit. Additionally, a tenant may elect to rescind a lease agreement where there is no Certificate of Occupancy or permit for the subject premises. As such, individuals living in an illegal accessory dwelling unit are entitled to receive restitution of all monies paid to the Defendants under the void and illegal lease. Click here to learn more.
