    All the descriptions in the ad are mere buzz words therefore they do not amount to false advertising. What is a "Modern" Kitchen, Some might say one that was installed yesterday. Some might say one that is installed within the 20th century.

    Pictures are also provided so you can form your own opinion of the place.

    that living room looks like something from Sallynoggin
    hardly in "excellent decorative condition"

    Cut and paste description job, I'd say.

    To go with the abject apathy that belies the pictures.

    I actually live in the same development, tbh the photos look rather similar to my own place, again depends on your definition of the word modern OP but tbh I can't see where false advertising would come in to it.

    Renting myself there btw

    I would interpret modern as current.
    That place looks like it was furnished haphazardly in the mid nineties.

    That apartment is modern in the same way as modern art is.

    No.

    From wiki ->
    Modern art includes artistic works produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s
