Since October 2018, a new space standard with room size specifications was introduced, to provide more spacious, healthier sleeping environments.
A person (child over the age of 10 years or adult) had to have a minimum of 6.51 square metres, whereas a room big enough for 2 people over 10 years old had to have at least 10.22 square metres. A child of less than 10 years could sleep in a box room of at least 4.64 square metres.
These room size specifications would seem quite generous to some home-owners, but as they provide their own accommodation, they can allow their own space standards. The private landlord however is in a different position.
