is it illegal for a rental leasing agent to list a home as 4-bedroom when public records list as 3 bedroom?

Update:

We were so quick to assume because we flew to Atlanta to see the property for an executive four bedroom rental for our employees. Our agent had a hard time trying to find out what they meant by a four bedroom. There is an additional room off the kitchen with no door. Our agent is not the listing agent. Our agent described this as a keeping room off the kitchen. Not looking for a fight, just some help.

    In my area it is very common for public records to be wrong. If the leasing agent is wrong then he wasted his time and yours. It was a mistake. No one has broken a law.

    Does the home have four bedrooms?

    Then it's not illegal.

    Even if it only has three bedrooms, it could simply be an honest mistake on the part of the agent. Why so quick to assume they're being deliberately deceptive? What point would that serve, anyway? If it actually only has three bedrooms, then anyone who went to look at it would figure that out pretty quickly.

    No since the leasing agent uses the facts as supplied by the owner.

    Public records are notorious for being wrong on property characteristics.

    Well, is it a 4BR or not? Frequently, it's the "public records" that are wrong.
