5 Ways to Use an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit on Your Property

Not every aux box is a tiny home. Here are the five most common reasons our customers add one.

1. Year-round rental income

A Model 240 or 300 used as a long-term rental in BC typically covers its own carrying cost within 5–8 years.

2. Aging in place — for parents or yourself

Multi-generational housing is the fastest-growing use case we see. A separate unit gives privacy while keeping family close.

The auxffice. A real commute — twenty feet down the garden path — and a real door to close at the end of the day.

4. A short-term rental that doesn't feel like one

Refined, design-forward, and consistently presentable. Customers who list on STR platforms consistently report being at the top of their market.

5. A creative or wellness studio

Yoga, art, music, therapy practice. A quiet, well-built room separated from the noise of the main house.
