It was specifically stated in the add that there was an ADU, which I assumed needs to be truthful and that an illegal ADU would not be considered an ADU, am I incorrect on this? Realtor and Title company were very aware there was an ADU.

thank you so much.

Hi all,

Looking for some guidance. We just bough out 2nd property (single family with a 2br ADU in basement) with the intention of renting out the ADU. Unfortunately someone from the town had to come out due to an unexpected boiler replacement a week into owning. This resulted in them noticing that there appears to be an ADU so he look through the records and I guess had never been permitted. Any advice on this? Do I need to go through the whole process of getting this permitted now or can I just pull out the kitchen and say its another room ('ve been told that's a thing)? Also is there anyway to turn this back on the seller (who it turns out lied about quite a few other things), we were under the impression it was a legal ADU. I assume a lot of people will say this was due to lack of due-diligence and in that case I supposed I've learned a lesson here.
