The rules on bedroom requirements when listing a home for sale vary from state to state, county to county, and even town to town. However, there are some common bedroom requirements in building codes that can give you an idea if your questionable space can qualify as a bedroom. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and one thing we know that every bedroom needs is room for a bed. While some municipalities don’t set a minimum square footage standard, it’s commonly accepted that a single occupancy bedroom should have at least 70 sq. feet of floor space. This figures out to be a 7-foot by 10-foot room (or an 8-foot by 9-foot room) at the minimum. In addition, some cities and states have additional requirements depending on how many people will occupy the bedroom. If a room is expected to accommodate two people, for example, regulations might mandate a minimum of 100 square feet, or at least 50 sq. feet per occupant.

Most municipalities have size requirements for windows, including that windows must have a total combined glass area of at least 8% of the floor area, and open at least halfway. And one window in the room must be at least 5.7 square feet and can’t be installed more than 44 inches above the floor.
