Have you ever dreamt of having a cool hangout spot or a personal sanctuary just a few steps from your main house? Say, in your garage? Well, you’re in luck. With the help of the newly passed state law, Senate Bill No. 1069, homeowners in California can now convert their garages into small second dwellings.
For a Los Angeles resident to be able to properly permit a garage conversion, he must meet a few simple requirements. These dwellings must be located within one and a half mile of public transportation. It must not also exceed 1,200 square feet or be more than five feet away from the property line. A full list of requirements is available on the Los Angeles Senate official web page.
With rental prices soaring high due to the lack of new housing units, this bill was passed to help aid replenish the supply. People who try moving into the city have a hard time getting a place for a reasonable price. With this new bill, garage conversions will now be hassle free and fast, converting garages into units that can be rented off as low-income housing options for residents.
