Fence / Access to Backyard for Tiny House

[Michelle Elsaid]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently house hacking my single family home. The backyard has a good space and I intended to put a tiny home / ADU (Accessory dwelling unit) in the back yard. It's legal in my area. After much thought, I've realized this house may only be a 3 year house because of sound transfer issues that I'm still working on, but because of that I don't want to spend $30K on a permanent structure in the back yard, I want to be able to take it off the property if I sell and relocate it, so a tiny home that can be moved later.

I don't have room to move a structure on the sides of the house, only the back yard. The back yard is fully fenced and there is an apartment community in the back and there is only green space on the other side of the fence. I was hoping I could use that area to move the ADU/tiny home to my back yard but the HOA of the apartments have said no.

Is there any way I can get creative here with legal reasonings on fencing / access to my property etc to make this a reality? I want to play fair and don't want it to become a negative situation with the community behind me, I just want to move a structure though the fence =D

Thoughts??
