In plain words
Under the rules, the smallest unit that can be rented out is a room as originally designed. Kitchens, bathrooms, balconies and underground storage rooms may not be lived in. If such a unit is penalized after an inspection, you may have to move out. Also, during the lease term the landlord cannot raise the rent just by saying so.
