The statewide rent cap is significantly above the amount rents have been rising on their own. It also expires after 10 years. And the cities with the strongest rent control--San Francisco and Los Angeles--are also the cities that have been seeing a boom in ADU construction, even though the dysfunctional rent control policies of those cities apply to a lot of those ADUs. The statewide rent cap isn't likely to be a meaningful impediment to ADU construction. Much more problematic is the cost of constructing the ADU in the first place.
