        "text": "Yes, ADUs can often be used as rental properties, providing a source of passive income. This is a common and encouraged use for ADUs in many areas, including within Hometelligent Inc.'s service regions like Berkeley or Oakland. The implications include understanding landlord-tenant laws, potential tax considerations on rental income, and ensuring the ADU meets all health and safety codes for occupancy. Consider your comfort level with being a landlord and research local rental ordinances before committing to this use.",
