    Dear Expat
    I heard that there is some standard room size to live in Belgium like for 1 person, 2 person etc. For 2 persons it is 28 m2 and for 3 persons it should be 40 m2. I also heard from some staff of city hall that now there is no such strictness in room size, is it true? This constraint is removed from a year ago. But on same day when I went to next section of city hall, next staff gave me above measurement and even for 3 persons, the staff said that it should be 40 m2 with three rooms though one of the member might be 3 years baby. strange??
    So I would like to know what is the exact rule or measurement of the room in Belgium.

    Thanks
    Rohit

    The rule is not according to how many people but to the size of the rooms: there is a regulation (2006 - Brussels [FR]) for minimal surface for new buildings in Belgium:
    - lounge minimum 20sqm
    - kitchen 8sqm
    - 1st bedroom 14 sqm
    - other bedrooms 9sqm.
    - 1 storage

    For bedsit, the minimum surface is 22 sqm.
