Q: Thank you for your submission. Almost all townships require a minimum of at least an egress window in the bedroom which serves as an emergency exit point, but not all townships allow bedrooms to be in the basement. You would need to contact the zoning department in your township to find out the specific requirements for a bedroom in a basement.
