Rental & Tax

What units actually rent for, property-tax reassessment math, and short-term-rental legality by jurisdiction.

1. 001What does a ADU rent for in Beverly Hills?+

   Current Beverly Hills ADU rents: $3,400/mo for a one-bedroom and $4,800/mo for a two-bedroom, with garage conversions and studios trailing 10–18% below the one-bedroom rate. Pricing aggressively to the comp band fills units faster and reduces turnover cost across the holding period.
2. 002Will building a ADU reassess my property taxes in Beverly Hills?+

   Under California Proposition 13, only the new construction is reassessed at current market value — your existing home base remains protected. A ADU in Beverly Hills typically adds $2,200–$4,800 per $100K of construction value to the annual property tax bill (roughly 1.1–1.25% of the assessed addition). Some jurisdictions exempt ADUs under 750 sq ft used as long-term rentals — confirm with the County Assessor before assuming.
3. 003Can I list my ADU on Airbnb in Beverly Hills?+

   Short-term rental rules in Beverly Hills are jurisdiction-specific and have tightened since 2023. Most cities require: STR registration, transient occupancy tax collection, primary-residence status (host on-site or owner-occupied), and capped nights per year for non-hosted listings. State ADU law often restricts ADUs from STR use — units must rent for terms of 30+ days. Confirm with the city before listing.
4. 004Does Beverly Hills rent control apply to a ADU?+

   ADUs in Beverly Hills built after 1995 are typically exempt from local rent control under Costa-Hawkins, but statewide AB 1482 (5% + CPI annual cap, up to 10%) applies to most properties owned by individuals. Local rent stabilization (LA RSO, Santa Monica, Berkeley) layers on top with stricter limits — verify your specific property's status before setting lease terms.
