Determining accessible bedrooms
The number of bedrooms currently available to the client's household compared with the number of bedrooms required to house them suitably needs to be determined.
Accessible bedrooms, are bedrooms to which the client's household has access.
To work out the number of bedrooms required by the household, see:
If a client is seeking accommodation because they are currently living in a garage, you need to consider whether there are any other accessible bedrooms available in any dwelling on the same property.
Dwelling | Accessible bedrooms |
Living areas | Not considered accessible bedrooms. |
Garage | Generally not considered an accessible bedroom. Where a sleep-out is attached to the garage and separated by a firewall, the sleep-out may be considered 1 bedroom |
