        "text": "Yes, current state law requires that the owner of the property must reside in either the primary dwelling or the Junior ADU. This is known as an 'owner-occupancy' requirement. The intent is to ensure that JADUs are primarily used to expand housing options while maintaining a level of oversight by the property owner. This regulation applies regardless of whether the JADU is rented out or used by family members.",
