        "text": "An in-law apartment is a self-contained living space on a single-family property that includes a bedroom, bathroom, living area, and often a kitchenette or full kitchen. An in-law suite is typically an expanded bedroom and bathroom attached directly inside the main house without full independent kitchen facilities. An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is usually a fully independent dwelling that may be detached, converted from an outbuilding, or attached with a separate entrance. Choosing between them depends on how much independence your family member needs and what your local zoning code allows for cooking facilities and utility connections.",
