Petition Establish a legal minimum size for bedrooms in rental properties

There needs to be a clear minimum size for a room to be classified as a bedroom in rental properties. There are minimum sizes for HMO's but not for other properties. I would suggest 9sqm is a fair amount to have a bed and storage.

More details

The private rental market is ridiculous and too many people are taken advantage of. In London particularly, tiny spaces are being marketed as bedrooms and people with a budget are forced to deal with it. In a market which is already dominated by the landlords, please at least ensure that there is room for someone to walk in their own bedroom.
