Here is an example from my experience:  To be an official bedroom, the room needs to have a closet and separate entrance.  If a home has two bedrooms and another room (with no closet) and is only accessible by walking through another bedroom. That would be false advertising.  

Or, if a bedroom is advertised but is really in a basement with no legal egress... that is false advertising.

Each state has different definitions of bedrooms, living space, etc. Check with your local juristiction.

Pictures can be misleading. They can make a house look better than it should. I've also seen where they can make a house look really bad.
