The description varies based on your value of Airs of the Nervous Lawyer.

AirsDescription

100[…] bad deal made in desperate circumstances with an unscrupulous landlord. […] mould in the bathroom, the rats in the kitchen, the errors in the inventory. […] unexpected subdivision of rooms. The battle for the deposit is a tale of horrors […].
