Interviewer instructions
Room
It is the housing unit or a part of it. It is surrounded by walls and has a ceiling. It is used for purposes of sleep, sitting, eating, or studying. The kitchen, the bathroom, the toilet, the attic, the passageway, the patio, and the internal and external balconies do not count as rooms. Similarly, Rooms that are used for work purposes are not considered rooms for residence. For example the room used for the doctor's office, or for sewing for other, or the hall, except if they are actually used for sleeping, eating, sitting, studying, or for fun. It is meant by the rooms for sleeping the rooms that are actually used for sleeping or designated for sleeping.
