<div dir="ltr">Good evening Massplanners,
<div>It would be great to hear about either or both of the following:</div>
<div><br>
<div>If you have an ADU bylaw where one of the units must be owner occupied, how do you define "occupied"? Is there a specific time period stipulated that the owner must live on the property...or do you sort of set it and forget it?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you have language to prevent ADU's from being used as short term rental units?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you so much! </div>
