Discussion about
Saw a place with 3 bedrooms, but one was listed as a "home office." The HO had a large window, big enough to climb out of in a fire or whatever, a closet, and was 11.5*10. BUT, unlike the rest of the rooms, it had only buil-in heat, no built in heat/AC. And the window would be awkward if one wanted either a window AC unit or a portable AC. Is that why its labled " a home office"? Does it have to have heat AND AC, plus all the rest? Its new construction.
I say awkward because although its large, its left-right opening and like 6 feet high, so it woudl be hard to put AC out of it (though not impossible.)
I don't think it has to have AC to be a bedroom.
you can always try getting a portabel AC for the room.
Sounds as if it's a lot-line window. If the window could be blocked by a building going up next door, then the window doesn't count. If that's the only window, then the room can't be called a bedroom.
I hate portable AC. But although it faces a court yard now, you are right - the lot of the other building goes straight to outside mine, so if they tore it down and built a new building it COULD block my window.
Good thinking Cynthia.
"Mine". I actually did not sign the lease today because I wanted this issue cleared up...
WFT, was this a BROKER who did this? Another dishonest asshole, REALTWHORE not listing the room as a bedroom but instead a home office. UGH, I am so TIRED of brokers who lie all the time.
if your not buying the place, what difference does it make if the definiton of the room is "bedroom" or "home office"?
See NWT's comment. I might live there long enough for the room to be blocked off.
Sear, i dinna get yer comment. If the y were lying they would have called it bedroom, not a home office. They call it a home office. I wondered why it was NOT a bedroom. The broker is too stupid to know why.
I gather sear was deploying irony.
