Brianna O Brien, a recent college grad, moved into a tiny house on her parents property in New Hampshire. Six months later, she received an eviction notice.
Determined to get her tiny house legally zoned, O Brien presented her case to the local zoning board in August 2019. But it denied her request, and she was forced to move out.
In most parts of the US, local governments consider tiny houses RVs. Many tiny-house owners have been evicted or have had trouble finding a place to park their homes legally.
After graduating from college and moving into a tiny house on her parents property, Brianna O Brien found a life-altering letter in the mail: an eviction notice.

Tiny-house owners across the US are facing the struggles of zoning ordinances that exclude tiny homes.
