There is a anti-crowding law that states that no adult may share a bedroom with a child and a child can only share a bedroom with another child, same sex only if one or both of them are older than 5 and that no more than 2 persons may share a bedroom so according to that, your 11 yo. definitely needs a private bedroom.  However, if a landlord is willing to rent you a 1 br. house for your family, it is very unlikely that someone will come to your home and start counting people and bedrooms.
