Tiny House Rental Market In San Diego / Point Loma

[John Laney]

Hello,

I with the recent easing of California and San Diego rules on Tiny houses (Accessory Dwelling Units) I'm interested in purchasing 2-3 tiny houses / Accessory dwelling units, place them on underutilized property in the San Diego / Point Loma area and then rent those houses.

Does anyone have experience with:

1) the application of this law?

2) The contracting side of placing these units on the property (electric/water/sewer)

3) Renting these accessory dwelling units?

It seems to me the tiny house movement took off in 2013-2015 and then has died off a bit...

I've enclosed the specific laws/regulations for reference.

@John Laney You have to own the property and the owner has to be living onsite in order to rent out the ADU.

At least that's how it was shaped up when I last looked into it early this year.

I don't see that changing - it makes sense from a policy perspective.  They're not trying to double housing density and hangs neighborhoods in one fell swoop.  

Course, if you build the thing and later move out, then rent both, I don't see many neighborhoods that would notice or object.  (?)
