*Since it is going to be a rental unit you should expect the worst from
your tenants. You don't want them running extension cords or blowing
breakers from electric heaters or air conditioners. Put each bedroom's
outlets on a separate 20 amp circuit and make some of them double duplexes
(Quads). You can go the extra mile and install one quad on a separate 20
amp circuit near a window for an A/C, but the one 20 amp circuit for all
of the outlets will probably suffice with today's energy efficient air
conditioners unless they are very large rooms.

I agree about trying to prevent future problems, especially since now is the
best time to include all of the possible outlets and cirucits that will
achieve that. I usually run a lot more than the minimum required number of
circuits, and I put less than the maximum number of allowable outlets on
each circuit. I also use nothing less than 12 guage wire in any circuit (no
14 guage anywhere), even though that may be overkill. And, with the
exception of circuits that require 20-amp breakers (such as kitchens), I use
15-amp circuit breakers even though the 12-guage wire would allow 20-amp
circuit breakers.

Pigtail the receptacles instead of feeding through each device for less
maintenance down the road.

I am not sure what pigtailing the receptacles means. I know about
pigtailing the grounds (which I learned here on this newsgroup), but I am
not sure about what pigtailing the receptacles means.
