What if I paid for 420 sq. feet and actually needed 420 sq. feet, not 400?

I assume you've rented in NYC. We do, and in Chicago. This is not complicated; landlords will tell you usable sqft, and give you accurate floorplans.

Besides, who rents based on a sqft number? You always visit and work out the space before signing. It's not eBay!

Don't you get to sue them for fraud if the area figures have been inflated by 5% to purposefully deceive?
