Tiny house owner argues home is a vehicle, not building

From Morning Report, 8:39 am on 28 February 2020

A Canterbury man wants councils to take heed after he proved in court his tiny house is a vehicle - not a building, like MBIE said it was.

That means Alan Dall can live in his tiny house without having to spend thousands of dollars fixing it to the ground and making it building code compliant.

Where that ruling leaves hundreds of other tiny house owners in similar structures isn't yet clear.
