Do I need to live on the property to rent out an ADU?
Owner-occupancy requirements for renting out an ADU depend on the specific town's zoning ordinance rather than a single statewide rule, so the answer changes from one Lowcountry town to the next. Some jurisdictions require the primary owner to live on site while an ADU is rented, while others allow the whole property to be rented out. Brian Beatty can confirm the exact rule for a specific address before you commit to a rental plan.
