Tiny houses are becoming more and more popular, but so far, living in a small space has been more of a niche. In the meantime, there are said to be more than 500 different houses from 75 manufacturers.

Depending on what type of tiny house it is, the lifespan varies quite a bit, as the consulting firm for tiny pants Indiviva reports on its website. A cottage on wheels that stands on a pitch will last 10 to 15 years. On the other hand, the situation is much longer with tiny houses that were built with a building permit. Only materials with building code approval are used in these houses.
