Yes — if your local council permits it and you have the correct insurance in place.

Expandify homes are Class 1a certified and suitable for long-term or short-term rentals.

Zoning and occupancy rules vary — many councils restrict separate leasing or require the primary dwelling to be owner-occupied.

Short-term rentals (e.g. Airbnb) may require additional approval depending on location.

Landlord or short-stay insurance must be arranged separately.

Always check your specific council’s rules before proceeding with rental plans.
