It's a risk to buy presale, there are plenty of actual 2 bedroom condos for sale in the same price range in existing buildings if you really needed a room to rent. A 3.2% sq footage variance isn't unheard of
You have some options- talk to a lawyer and try to get your deposit back, live with it as is and pick up some extra work, rent out the entire unit, or sell it (and take a small hit) and buy something with a real 2nd bedroom. You may be upset but it isn't the end of the world

Hind sight is 2020. The point is I am robbed of 20 sq feet no matter how you look at it. If I decide not to rent out the second bedroom I would still have a second decent sized room to entertain guest. More importantly when I sell, I do not have the square footage to sell at market value. Don't point the gun at me, Instead of blaming the assailant, you blame the victim.
Like I said I cannot afford a lawyer . The disgusting thing is ,they dont even allow you to get out of the contract. Too late for me, but I want other people to learn not be vitimized.... learn who not to buy from.
