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.
