13. Number of rooms
How many rooms does the dwelling have? (Include the kitchen. Do not include the bathroom)

Cell number 13: Number of rooms
The number of rooms in the dwelling should be recorded in this cell.

A room is each chamber or space used for accommodation; this includes living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and servants rooms.

There are some houses, particularly modern houses, where there is no separation between the living room and the dining room. There is a construction in the form of an "L" where, for example, one part is used as the living room and the other part as the dining room. In this case, they are considered to be two rooms if, in fact, there is no visible separation and the dining room is independent from the living room.

If there is a table in the living room used for eating, it is counted as only one room because it functions as both living room and dining room.

[p. 16]

Porches, bathrooms, hallways, or corridors are not included.

Rooms in the dwelling exclusively for commercial, industrial, or service purposes (e.g. stores, clinics, workshops, barbershops, etcetera) are not counted as rooms.
