Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

I am dealing with a situation in which a real estate leasing company has advertised a house for rent, listing that it has four bedrooms. My son and other roommates signed a lease for the house only later to find that it does not have four bedrooms. I understand that there are specific real estate rules that apply with regard to what can legally be listed as a bedroom when listing a property. It appears that the agent tried to represent that a dining room was a bedroom.
