Creating additional bedrooms

Charles E. Bruckman

Hello All,

I am curious about the process to turn a 3 bedroom house into a 4 bedroom house by converting an office or other room into a livable space. The goal here is to increase the number of bedrooms to be able to house hack and increase cash flow. I would want to make the conversion as cheap as possible while still making it legal. My questions include:

1. What are the criteria necessary to call a room a "bedroom" in order to rent it out?

2. Is a permit required to make this conversion?

Any information you can share with me about this subject would be a big help to me.

Thank you in advance!

Chaz
