The ADU ordinance requires that the lease for each rental ADU have a term of no more than twelve and no less than six months. Certain other provisions regarding occupancy of the unit as the tenant's domicile, annual recertification of income eligibility, a prohibition on subleasing and sanctions for noncompliance with these provisions must also be included in the lease.

The landlord must either use the attached Lease Addendum to supplement its standard lease or incorporate these provisions in its standard lease for an ADU.
