<p><span class="em">11.8. Bedrooms</span></p>

<p>A bedroom is a room equipped with a bed and used for night rest. These rooms should be at least large enough to hold a bed for an adult (4 square metres at the very least). There must be some permanency about the walls enclosing the bedroom. A room in a dwelling unit, which is used for recreation by day and sleeping by night, is not regarded as a bedroom.
