I have a question

Does a house have to have a bathtub in order to sell?

My parents have put in a bathroom with a shower stall and now want to remodel their other bathroom. Thay want to put in another shower stall and eliminate the tub.

I told them that that may not be legal in terms of reselling their home??

Anyone have any idea???

Re: I have a question

I think a tub is required in at least one bathroom in the house.

Re: I have a question

i would like a tub - as a buyer. but that is because i like to take baths, and if u have children u might want them to take a bath- it is easier..

i wouldnt not buy a house because of it. but i would negotiate price based on that..

i dont think a bathtub is required though.

Trust me, I am trying to talk them out of it. But my mother always has to do the opposite of what I advise her.
She will totally limit the people who would be interested in her home.
I have kids and would never buy a house without a tub.
I was just checking the legality of it. I hope it IS illegal to sell a house without a tub, maybe then she'll reconsider.
