I am a single parent of twin 9 year old daughters in MI can I rent a 1 bedroom or do I need 2 bedroom?

Question

LEASE IS UP. LOOKING TO MOVE TO A LESS COSTLY APARTMENT. MONIES ARE VERY TIGHT BUT WANT TO COMPLY WITH MICHIGAN LAW.

Answer 1

i don't think there is a law about how many rooms you have to have to put a roof over your childrens heads. if there was, then michigan would really be in trouble. 1 room is fine, or even a studio if you want to go cheaper. just have your bed and bunk beds for the girls set up. hope you find something soon.

Answer 2

Personally, I think it's more about your ability to provide a home for your children. not the law. Don't overwhelm yourself by getting a place that you can't afford. If you have to move right away and funds are tight, go for the 1 bedroom. I would suggest letting the girls sleep in the bedroom on bunks and sleeping on a cot in the living room.
Find out what resources are available in Michigan. You may be eligible to receive housing, energy, or other types of assistance that help with your costs. Good Luck.

Answer 3

I don't think you're required to have two rooms, but 9 year olds really need more privacy than living in the same room as their mom. If you go for the one bedroom, try to put up some kind of partition or if it has a really big walk in closet, one of the girls might prefer to sleep in there. My family once lived in a one bedroom apartment. There were six of us at the time. My mum and dad put their bed in the living room, and all four of us kids stayed in one room, on two sets of bunk beds. That was an interesting time for sure. But as long as the girls are both getting their share of privacy and a little space that is all their own, it can work

Answer 4

There is no law saying that you have to have separate rooms at a certain age. I live in Michigan and I shared a room with my sister (she's 2 years older than me) and we only got separate rooms because we couldn't both fit in it. You may have to rent a two bedroom (one for you and one for the girls), if that's what you are asking.

Answer 5

some little ones are for sure quieter. My 4 yo became a quiet one too. She became no longer talking at one and made very few sounds. even nevertheless, she became very stable at pointing and asserting 'eh' and getting her factor for the era of. sooner or later she became approximately sixteen months and that i acted as though I had no thought what she needed and he or she finally comes out with very diverse "COOKIE!" Now she hardly stops talking. I easily have heard that listening to 2 languages could make language acquisition slower, yet does no longer intervene with finally understanding the two completely. So do no longer exchange that if bilingual is an selection. (I desire my daughter had that selection.) on the different hand, if she truly isn't making any noise or a minimum of on celebration making babbling noises (bababa gagaga mammaama) then you ought to to envision in with a pediatrician or pediatric nurse. in the event that they are stressful there is in many cases early intervention available for listening to or language issues. terrific of high quality fortune!

Answer 6

If protective services was to get involved you would need 2 bedrooms. Most apts will not rent a 1 bedroom to you anyway. Good luck see if you can get some help.

Answer 7

by law i think you need two rooms but to tell you the truth they NEVER check. who has the time to go around checking each and every apartment to see how many people are living there. so as long as you keep to yourself and never have the cops called on you then you should have no problem.

Answer 8

2 or 3 the girls need their own room and so do you

the girls can share a room
