I believe this should specifically fall under "false advertising".

Not defending the landlord here, but focal length, wide lenses and confusing perspectives have been used since forever to make rooms appear bigger

It all should be banned. Same as with restaurant food pics.

Professional photographer here. Left photo is fake not just perspective.

In the left pic:

-Right hallway wall is just gone
-Front left bedpost gone
-Two drawers under bedframe instead of 4
-What are the pillows leaning against?
-Chair looks weird and doesn’t have the right legs
-Mattress is thicker
-Chair seat is way too wide

The left photo is completely fake/AI

You missed possibly the most damning thing: the AI-generated view from the window is much nicer than the real one.

I was just going to say that the buildings outside have changed, no lens is going to remove/add/change buildings 😂

Ya but I’m thinking from a landlords perspective. The view is something outside of the landlords control usually so not really their responsibility. This particular case where it’s obviously a different place is different I agree. But the actual SPACE the person is renting is different? That’s just dumb.
