The programme

What is the Big Tiny Sale & Manage programme?

You buy and own a tiny house, then lease it to Tiny Assets Pte. Ltd. (trading as Tiny Away) under the Sale & Manage programme's hire agreement. Tiny Away uses it for short-term stays, maintains it at its own expense, and pays you a fixed monthly rental income for the lease period.

Do I actually own the tiny house?

Yes. You purchase and own the tiny house: a caravan. It remains your property at all times; Tiny Away only has the right to possess and use it during the lease period. It is not real estate, nor a share in a fund or in Tiny Away.

Where are the tiny houses located?

Currently, new tiny houses are placed in Australia or Europe, based on operational needs. In Australia, your tiny house may be placed at one of our own Tiny Away Escapes. Tiny Away also hosts stays in other countries, including New Zealand, but tiny houses there are no longer available for purchase. You can see our current stays and listings on tinyaway.com.

What do I pay for, and can I own part of a house?

You pay for the tiny house, with either full ownership or partial ownership alongside other owners. We share current units and pricing at the showroom.

Rental and tax

How does the monthly rental work?

About 90 days after you sign the agreement, you start receiving a fixed monthly rental income, paid on the 15th of every month (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or public holiday), as set out in the payment schedule of your hire agreement. Tiny Away takes the bookings, hosts the guests, and maintains the house at its own expense, so you do not deal with guests or repairs. Your purchase, monthly rental and buyback are all in Singapore dollars.

How is the rental income taxed?

It depends on your own circumstances. Singapore’s rules on foreign-sourced income are set by IRAS, so we recommend checking your position with a tax adviser before you buy.

Lease period and buyback

How long is the commitment, and what happens at the end of a lease?

The programme runs for up to 15 years. Your hire agreement covers a lease period of 2 or 5 years, which you choose when you sign. At the end of each lease period, you can renew your lease at no additional cost, up to 15 years in total, or take up the buyback option. We will explain each option clearly at the showroom.

Can I sell my tiny house before the programme ends?

Your lease runs for its full period once it starts. At the end of each 2- or 5-year lease period, you can renew your lease or take up the buyback option, which lets you sell your tiny house to the company at the Sale Price set out in your hire agreement. We go through these terms with you line by line at the showroom.
