Adding Bedrooms in Connecticut!

[Mathew Allen]

Hi BP Community!

I have targeted a property in Bridgeport, CT with the hopes of renting it to college students at Sacred Heart University. I have currently put an offer in. In order for the deal to work for me as an investment, I would need to convert some of the living space into bedrooms. I am trying to figure out where to look to see what is legally required to add a bedroom to a house and CT and what would legally classify it as a bedroom. Any input from you guys would be greatly appreciated! Also, one of the bedrooms i hope to add will be in the basement, which is already finished and has a separate egress. Thanks in advance.

Best,

Mat

@Mathew Allen Adding bedrooms and the requirements for doing so is based on the municipality guidelines, nothing to do with the state agencies. As a general rule of thumb a window and a closet is needed to classify something as a bedroom.
