Answer:
Yes — Expandify homes can be rented out or leased under most residential zoning classifications, including long-term rentals or granny flat leases.
You can:
- Rent the full dwelling to a tenant or family member
- Use the home as a secondary dwelling for rental income
- Lease under rooming accommodation rules if approved by council
Important considerations:
- Zoning must permit dual occupancy or secondary dwellings
- Councils may limit use to “related persons” unless approved otherwise
- Tenancy laws, smoke alarm compliance, and landlord insurance still apply
Always confirm your eligibility with a private certifier or planning professional before using your Expandify home as a rental or sublet property.
