Massachusetts Lawsuit Tests Cap on Attic Apartments
Original: Massachusetts town moves to count attic space as ADU lawsuit tests 900-square-foot cap
A Massachusetts town has moved to count attic space toward the size of an accessory dwelling unit, sparking a lawsuit that tests the state's 900-square-foot cap on such units. The dispute turns on whether attic floor area falls within the limit set by the state's ADU law, a question with implications for homeowners across Massachusetts hoping to add small rental apartments.
Why now: The outcome could shape how widely towns can restrict attic conversions under Massachusetts' new ADU rules.
