[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty certain no one regulates where in your house you can sleep. The county does not police these things. You can sleep wherever you like. People all over the County sleep in bedrooms with no egress and are grandfathered in under the old law (which did not require egress windows). However, if you make changes to the basement, then you are required to bring the space up to code (and install an egress window). In other words, there is no law that says your MIL can't sleep in your basement without an egress window. However, if you renovate the basement and don't install an egress window, you will be in violation and can be fined and/or prevented from selling your house. [/quote] If there is a fire and someone gets hurt or injured you will have insurance problems at a minimum. It is also criminal.[/quote] Doubt it. The guests assumed the risks. OP - this would only be an issue if you were renting it out.[/quote]
