Potential Rental with Unpermitted Room

Luca Shaw
Posted

Hi all,

I am looking at a potential rental acquisition where the home contains a garage conversion into a room and it is unpermitted.


Note that seller has not included this room in the sq footage and i am not purchasing it with the assumption of conversion to permitted.


If i were to buy and turn into a rental - is there any liability to renting it out with that unpermitted conversion? I wouldn't advertise it as a bedroom and would make it clear that it is not to ever be a bedroom, but am concerned about the presence of an unpermitted room in general, but I may be overreacting. 

State: California

Thanks!
