Requiring disclosure seems obvious.

Using AI for these pics is also not inherently deceptive though.

I live in an extremely overheated housing market where properties are usually sold/rented long before they actually get completed. I'm fine with landlords using AI in their renders to make claims about how the place will eventually look.

You also see people using AI to put furniture into the image (I assume they are also taking out the furniture that's actually there, belonging to the previous tenant, but doesn't fit their desired aesthetic). Again, nothing _inherently_ deceptive about this.

Main thing is just whether tenants are empowered to back out of the contract if they don't get what they were promised.

Anyone who e.g. uses AI to expand rooms/windows... Jail please.

Why not just put the floor plan with no photos then, or just photos of an empty room with white walls? I can imagine myself how a room _could_ look, what added value does your imagined version add?

Coz you want to know what flooring, doors, cupboards, bath, sinks, railings, windows, etc they are putting in.

I went to view a flat this week, it was a building site. That's still the most important bit coz you get a feel for the size and shape of the space which is what really matters. But I'm glad to have the AI renders too.
