Can a tiny home be a rental property?
For backyard homes, yes. Long-term rental of laneway homes and garden suites is permitted, and encouraged, by most municipal programs; rental income is one of the main reasons owners build. Short-term rental rules are stricter everywhere and vary by city, so check current bylaws before planning around nightly rates.
