ADUs for Rent in Los Angeles

Accessory dwelling units have become one of the more practical ways to rent in Los Angeles. They sit on the lot of an existing home — a converted garage, a detached studio in the backyard, a unit above a driveway — which usually means a private entrance, your own outdoor space, and a quieter street than a comparable apartment building.

Because ADUs are added to established residential neighbourhoods, they tend to put renters in areas that would otherwise be out of reach, and California has spent recent years making them substantially easier for homeowners to build. For renters, that has meant more of them coming onto the market.

Every Los Angeles listing here is an ADU. You can filter by rent, bedrooms, size and amenities, and contact the owner directly — there is no leasing office in between.
