Any property that meets the minimum square footage for habitability under the state sanitary code shall be permitted to be used as year-round housing. Any property that would otherwise be habitable, including but not limited to tiny houses, accessory dwelling units, or rooms in a hotel, motel, or motor inn, which have individual bathrooms and kitchen facilities, may be used for year-round housing, regardless of any municipal bylaw that imposes a higher minimum square footage than the state sanitary code for year-round habitability. This section shall preempt any local bylaw that prohibits the year-round habitability of property as set forth herein.
