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.
