To keep the story short a friend was told during a pest inspection that their apartment was a fire hazard due to the amount of furniture they have in their apartment.
Personally I don’t see it. It is a smaller apartment and they have two shelves in their bedroom that do make it feel a little small when combined with their queen bed but there’s still a little over three feet of space around the bed. Their partner and them each have a desk in their living room along with a couch, a tool chest, coffee table, and TV stand.
It’s something I’ve never heard of and seems very arbitrary for the landlords to call out. I tried finding images online of fire hazard apartments but it was all images of daisy chained extension cords and hoarders.
Ideally I’d like to help them relax and ensure them it’s not something they can get evicted over.
I’ve never heard of the quantity of furniture being a fire hazard unless it impeeds the ability to exit during a fire. Is it made out of dry tinder and balloons of gasoline?
I mean they have a few boardgames under their coffee table.
