Sanitary code and renting room in a house
Yes, the Minimum standards set out in 105 CMR 410 apply to people in your situation who rent a room in a house. Below, I've set out the "Scope" of 410 and some of the more relevant definitions.
410.010: Scope
(A) No person shall occupy as owner-occupant or let to another for occupancy any dwelling, dwelling unit, mobile dwelling unit, or rooming unit for the purpose of living, sleeping, cooking or eating therein, which does not comply with the requirements of 105 CMR 410.000.
Dwelling means every building or shelter including but not limited to rooming houses and temporary housing used or intended for human habitation and every other structure or condition located within the same lot line whose existence causes or is likely to effect noncompliance with the provisions of 105 CMR 410.000.
Occupant means every person living or sleeping in a dwelling.
Dwelling Unit means the room or group of rooms within a dwelling used or intended for use by one family or household for living, sleeping, cooking and eating. Dwelling unit shall also mean a condominium unit.
