What are the requirements for a room to be living space?

From a real estate stand point or square footage standpoint, a living space has to have access to a bathroom (and I think a kitchen if on the main floor) within a certain distance of the room. Finished basements or attics are not considered living spaces if they do not have a bathroom on the same floor. Unfair, but true in most states. Although, you should always mention the finished basement or attic in the description because it does increase the value of the house. It is just not considered in the square footage. Depending on the size of the finished room and upgrades, it can add thousands onto the value of the home. A Realtor should be able to help with this. Also if selling a home, take snap shots of the finished room and add to the description, brag about any upgrades like carpet, shelves, closets etc. Most home buyers do not care if there is a bathroom in a basement that looks like a real den.

What to do about a man living in the basement?

If there is a man that you do not know living in your basement, you might want to call the police. You could talk to him about renting the space instead if he seems harmless I suppose. Maybe you could trade for him doing some yard work or something, if you are open to that.
