Photos That Don't Always Show the Truth

Artificial intelligence allows for the creation of interior photographs so polished that they attract the attention of those looking for a place to live. As reported by Interia Biznes, a computer-generated image may have nothing to do with the actual condition of the property, and disappointment usually comes only during on-site inspections (Are you looking for a rental apartment?

Flaws Not Visible on Screen

According to the same portal, such graphics can conceal serious defects, such as damp walls, damage, or sanitary conditions that do not comply with regulations. Problems that are not visible in the photos can cost the tenant not only money but also time and nerves.

Frauds in the Rental Market

The use of AI in advertisements contributes to an increase in abuses. As reported by Interia Biznes, an owner can prepare an attractive offer that does not reflect reality, and such practices are becoming more common.

Checklist Before Renting

The Interia Biznes portal advises that before making a decision, several steps should be taken:

• compare the photographs with the description of the property and check if both sources match,
• look for reviews about the landlord,
• if possible, view the apartment in person,
• verify whether the photos are computer-generated.

Key Takeaways for Tenants

Tenants should approach offers illustrated with computer-generated graphics with caution. A photograph alone is not enough to assess the property: it is important to confront the photos with the description, check reviews, and visit the site.
