Bill overview
This bill would allow Massachusetts cities and towns to establish rules and regulations regarding owner occupancy within accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Currently, there are no statewide requirements for how ADUs must be used, and this legislation aims to give local governments more control over ensuring that ADUs are primarily occupied by their owners. The goal is to preserve owner-occupied ADUs and potentially address housing affordability and neighborhood stability concerns. It seeks to provide municipalities with the tools to manage ADU development effectively.
