Summary at a Glance

If you want to put your tiny house in the back garden of the home that you own, and the overall size of your tiny house  does not exceed 19.8m x 6.7m (65ft x 22ft), then good news!

If this is your plan, then it is a legal requirement that you only use the tiny house as additional living space, like an office, a gym, or a studio, but you cannot rent out the space to a tenant.

Tiny houses that fit within these dimensions and are constructed on trailer bases are legally classified as caravans, which means you can legally park them within the curtilage of your home without planning permission.

Keen to clap back to the haters, the influencer, who has over one million followers on TikTok, filmed herself outside her unique home and said: “I'm not a squatter, I actually pay to be out here - pretty cheap rent, but I am paying to be here regardless.

“I think a lot of people assume that I'm squatting or somehow not allowed to be out here, but actually this is privately owned land, I do pay rent to be here, I have a great relationship with my landlord and I get a whole acre of space all to myself for pretty cheap.”.
