        "text": "While often used interchangeably, an in-law suite is typically an attached or integrated part of the main house, designed for a family member, potentially sharing a main entrance or utilities. An Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be attached or detached, but is generally a fully independent living unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, and often a separate entrance. ADUs are sometimes permitted for rental income, whereas in-law suites are primarily for family use. Zoning regulations often define the distinctions and permissible uses for each type of addition.",
