Compliance Resources for Accessory Residential Units (ARUs)

The Housing Department monitors Accessory Residential Units built prior to 6/4/2018 to ensure compliance with their recorded deed-restrictions. Units built after 6/4/2018 are Workforce restricted. Click here for more information on workforce compliance.

A complete Tenant Qualification Packet is required to qualify tenant households, whether for a lease renewal, new household move-in, or Annual Requalification. To see a list of what is required for a complete Tenant Qualification Packet, please use the Accessory Residential Unit Checklist below. Please note that incomplete Tenant Qualification Packets will NOT be accepted. 

Self-Employed tenants must also complete a Self-Employed Local Business Application to ensure that their self-employment meets the definition of a local business. This can be found below.

*Helpful Hint* - Read the Rental Checklist THOROUGHLY prior to submitting documentation.
