ADU Legalization in Chicago
Hi BP community,
My husband and I are actively looking for our first home and have settled on the idea of two flats. Like many other posters, we have questions about being able to turn a basement into another rentable unit after we buy. I stumbled across this article on Curbed and wanted to share. Do any investors, legal experts, etc. have any idea how the legalization of ADUs might change the possibilities of owners adding units to existing properties? Would it make it easier? Less expensive? Could the city provide resources or assistance to make it more achievable? Just looking to start a conversation.
