US fire code actually requires that there be 2 exits to any bedroom (in practice the 2nd exit is a suitable window). Of course people ignore this, but leasing out of a sleeping room that doesn't have 2 exits is likely illegal.

It's also code to have bedroom electric outlets protected by an AFCI.

I guess my point is that even though my reaction to your posts about fire is that it seems paranoid, those accommodations are supposed to be the default where I live.
