I think it depends on the age of the house.
At one time, I think it was allowed.

The house was a 1987.

Now that's just weird.
Has anyone EVER seen one of those in someone's home? I've been in literally thousands of homes and I have not.

One of my wife's female friends has one. It is something you would use in a tiny apartment. Yes, I have seen one. No, I did not inspect the place and wouldn't want to.
