What are the requirements for single bedrooms?

• A. Single occupant bedrooms must have at least 80 square feet of floor space; floor space must not include closets or alcoves; floor space must be space that children can use for daily activities
• B. Single occupant bedrooms must have at least 60 square feet; floor space must include closets and alcoves
• C. Single occupant bedrooms must have at least 100 square feet; floor space must be usable for daily activities including closets
• D. Single occupant bedrooms must have at least 40 square feet; floor space must include closets

Answer: (A)

Single-occupancy bedrooms must provide at least 80 square feet of floor space, and only the portion that is usable for daily activities counts toward that space. Closets and alcoves do not count because they aren’t usable for daily activities like sleeping, playing, or moving around safely.

This standard ensures there’s enough room for a bed, basic furniture, and safe movement within the room. The other options mix in inappropriate counts or measurements: one suggests a smaller minimum that wouldn’t leave adequate usable space, another counts closets as usable space (which inflates the requirement), and another proposes an even larger minimum that still includes non-usable areas.
