Number of bedrooms, listing requirements, and conversion
I'm looking at a few properties on the MLS that have 'other' rooms listed instead of bedrooms. So one property says 1 BR, then an office and a sun room. From what I can see online, there isn't a strict definition for bedroom. I'd heard it requires a closet, but can't find a definitive answer on that. Will the office and sun room be missing closets? And if so, could I still market it for rent with 3 bedrooms - or would I need to add a closet to avoid disappointed people during showings? I've also read that rooms that provide access to other rooms can't be BRs - basically you can't have that room be part hallway.
A jump from one BR to three makes a huge difference in rent, so it would be a big difference in whether a deal makes sense.
