        "text": "A backyard guest house, also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or granny flat, is a secondary housing unit on a single-family residential lot. It can be attached or detached from the primary home. Common uses include providing independent living space for family members, serving as a rental unit for additional income, or functioning as a dedicated home office, studio, or private retreat. ADUs offer flexible space solutions tailored to various homeowner needs, enhancing property utility without requiring a new land purchase.",
