- Advertising brochure listed this room as a bedroom.
- It did not meet the building code requirements for use as a habitable room.
- The room was located in an area with no possibility of achieving direct light and ventilation to the exterior
- This misrepresentation may seem pedantic to mention in a report, until the buyer decides to sell it.
