Why owners choose Driven for adu & garage apartment property management austin.
Permitting-Aware Leasing
We confirm your ADU is permitted for rental use under current Austin code before marketing it, avoiding compliance issues down the line.
Privacy-Focused Screening
Since ADUs often share a lot with the main house, we screen tenants with attention to lifestyle compatibility and mutual privacy.
Utility & Access Coordination
We clarify shared utilities, driveway access, and yard use in the lease to prevent disputes between the ADU tenant and main house.
Standalone Financial Reporting
Your ADU's income and expenses are tracked separately, useful whether you live on the property or rent both units out.
ADUs are one of Austin's fastest-growing rental categories.
Austin has seen a wave of accessory dwelling units and garage apartment conversions, driven by relatively ADU-friendly city code and strong rental demand from tenants wanting affordable, private housing near established neighborhoods. But managing an ADU differs from a standalone rental: shared driveways, utility arrangements, and proximity to an owner-occupied main house all need to be addressed clearly in the lease. We confirm your unit's permitting status, market its privacy and location advantages, and screen tenants who'll be a good fit for close-proximity living, whether you're living in the main house or renting both units.
"We weren't sure our garage apartment was even legal to rent. Driven confirmed the permitting and had it leased within three weeks."

Questions, answered.
Is my ADU or garage apartment legal to rent in Austin?+
It depends on permitting and code compliance specific to your property. We review your ADU's permit status during onboarding and can advise on next steps if it needs to be brought into compliance before leasing.
Do you manage ADUs where the owner lives in the main house?+
Yes — we regularly manage ADUs for owner-occupants, with lease terms that clearly define shared spaces, utilities, and privacy expectations.
How is ADU rent typically priced?+
We compare your unit to similar-sized studio and one-bedroom rentals in your neighborhood, factoring in privacy, separate entrance, and any shared amenities or restrictions.
