Supporting legal changes and clarity for tiny homes to provide affordable accommodation
Supporting legal changes for tiny houses to provide affordable accommodation
Tasman, Tasman District
Three years ago, I was welcomed by the Schaeffner family to stay on their property in my tiny home. During a challenging period in my life, I found refuge and encouragement with them. Unfortunately the selfless and caring family of five is now experiencing difficulties due to an ongoing dispute with local authorities. The family at risk of losing their home through no fault of their own.
The Schaeffner's are currently engaged in a legal battle to protect their rights and to support not only my stay on their land, but also the broader tiny house community. Their efforts aim to ease regulations for individuals embracing this lifestyle choice. This will help to address the current housing crisis and support businesses providing affordable housing solutions.
The objective is to raise funds to provide financial aid for their current legal bills.

New interview with Christin 22 October 2024
Dear all,
A huge thank you for your ongoing support for our cause.
Currently, the Schaeffner's are working diligently on their case. Many of hours of night time working on their case has become the norm. A round of applause to them!
It is heartening to witness just how much focus and determination Christin and Mathias apply to help justice and common sense to be upheld.
Currently there is no date for the court hearing, however we had word it will be in sometime early next year 2025.
The Schaeffners will be representing themselves in court.
Let us all keep up with good thoughts, support and positive intentions to win their case.
