It's no secret that finding a rental in Los Angeles can be frustrating, discouraging, and exhausting.
Given regulatory hurdles, rising material & labor costs, and high interest rates, developers have not been able to keep up with the pace of Los Angeles's housing needs. A squeezed supply coupled with mounting demand has skyrocketed housing costs. In an effort to aid dense cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, new California legislation introduced laws that have empowered Los Angeles homeowners with passive income while providing desperately needed housing units.

So far so good.
‍
ADU development has emerged as a the leading contributor to housing units. In fact, ADUs accounted for 20% of California's housing supply added in 2023. Beyond just California, the ADU revolution has caught fire throughout the most expensive places in the nation. Only a $3.3 billion industry in 2023, the United States ADU industry stands to reach $10.6 billion by 2030.

However, even as a seemingly popular choice with eased regulations and government support serving as valuable tailwinds, building an ADU is still no easy task. Even if you already have an ADU, marketing and leasing it can be just as difficult. And if you rent and want to find an ADU as your next home, there hasn't been any easy way to find ADU options. But with A-du, building, leasing, and finding your new home is as easy as booking a hotel. Connecting homeowners with vetted tenants and homebuilders in Los Angeles, A-du is the ultimate peer-to-peer marketplace for all things ADU.
