Summary

The law voids any deed or HOA rule that outright bans or unreasonably limits accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or junior ADUs on lots that are allowed to have single‑family homes. It also expands that protection to common‑interest developments and requires local governments to ministerially approve up to two detached ADUs on a single‑family lot, with additional options for ADUs in multifamily projects. The changes aim to increase affordable housing options without adding new taxes or state funding.
