Will partition wall pass sect 8 inspection ?

Dana Powell
Posted

I have a large basement finished room of which I'd like to wall off a portion so as to create a bedroom (room is 70 sq feet and has an egress window). I  want a temporary wall that can be put in place for the day of an annual inspection and then removed that same day and stored. I'm familiar with pressurized walls but would not want to deal with the dust from putting up and tearing down drywall for 1 day a year.  Adding this bedroom would increase my rent by $569 a month.  The tenant would prefer the basement room to remain open.  Any creative ideas?  Would a partition wall with door, such as one used in hotels to divide conference rooms, suffice?  Thanks in advance!
