Hi there,
Does anyone know the legalities around rooms in apartments with no windows ???
I have an apartment with 1 bedroom and a study. The study does not currently have a door on it and from what I know would not have passed council approval on completion if it did because it does not have any windows.
The current tenant wants to sublet the other room to someone to assist with the rent and also wants a door put on.
I am not that keen to put a door on or accept the sub-let without understanding:
1. Is it legal to have a door (and I assume not otherwise why would it have been a problem above)
2. Is it legal for someone to live in a room with no windows and a door ?
3. Is it legal for someone to live in a room with no windows but some other sort of screening for a door (eg. curtain or japanese type screen)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to provide a response ASAP.
Many Thanks
PIppety
