In our situation, there is an exterior door a few feet away from the bedroom. Still illegal, but it is what they wanted for privacy. None of them ever asked to rematch and we had 2 extensions. So 3 APs over 5 years no issues.

Do you have APs from Asia or the slums of Brazil?
Your set up sounds terrible. The legal room must be really bad.

The legal room is about 15x15 and has an attached bath in a home built 7 years ago. We only match with Northern Europeans, so 1 Swede and 2 Germany all from middle class families, except the Swede who was from an Upper Class family.

Are you saying that Asians and South Americans come from slums? I have no experience with those APs, but if you say so. Shrug.

Do you want an unhappy AP? Go for it.
Do you want your AP to die in a fire? Go for it. I guess you won't mind explaining to her parents why their child died because you couldn't be bothered to put her in a legal bedroom.

If you think the room is perfectly fine to sleep in, you take it. Or put one of your kids in it.
If you think you'd be uncomfortable in it or you'd worry about your childrens' safety - don't put your AP in it. Easy as that.

Yiu are quite hysterical and dramatic. 80% of fires start in the kitchen, 13% in a chimney or wood stove. Smoke rises. Most people die of smoke inhalation when they are sleeping because smoke rises. Not being hysterical and using actual facts an AP is most likely to die in a fire if shes sleeping upstairs.

We have had 4 different LCCs who all were very clear that a window was a requirement. APIA.

You are legally required to have a window in all bedrooms. It is not dramatic to be concerned.

You are definitely very dramatic when it comes to other people's basements, you are very emotionally invested. As if people are dropping like flies in basement bedrooms without windows.

Or a door to the outside, either works.
