Found a parking spot somewhere else? How's how to protect yourself.

Fantastic news!

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter where you find your site as long as you find one and can live happily ever after, right?

If this is you- there are still ways you can protect yourself.

HOW?

1. USE A LEASE AGREEMENT.

While we want to think the best of others, it’s 2025 and absolutely essential to have a paper trail detailing the expectations and obligations of both parties.

The last thing you want is to end up in court or at the small claims tribunal in a chaotic “he said she said” battle.

Just use a lease.

Renting land for a Tiny House is a VASTLY different undertaking than a traditional rental, which is why we created our own comprehensive Lease agreement that covers all the nuances specific to Tiny House life (like compost toilets, rubbish, mail, site prep).

Its a small price to pay to avoid awkward conversations or a legal dispute with your host!

2. GET AN EXPERT SITE ASSESSMENT.

When we assess applications from landowners who want to work with us, we go through a detailed checklist. Based on 10 years experience in the industry, this list looks at all the risk factors that could potentially derail your tenancy, including council, neighbours, access and more.

The last thing you want is to go to all the trouble of moving onto your site, encounter an issue right away, and then have to fork out big money to move yet again- all while in panic mode.

This is avoidable 99% of the time!!

Properties that pass this assessment are also eligible to apply for our proprietary Host Insurance policy- an inexpensive way for your host to protect themselves in case something goes wrong.

Our hosts LOVE that we have an insurance policy that covers them for hosting- and sometimes it's the clincher that puts their minds at ease so they actually say yes to you.

The best bit? We can do all this over the phone with you in under 30 minutes.

Book that call HERE.

(if you're a current member on one of our 6 month plans, this is at no cost to you! Just email our support team)

There’s no guarantees with anything in life- but there ARE ways you can minimise your risk by leveraging expert advice and resources.

Be safe, be smart, be educated.
