Shouldnt apartment not be an object?

cshtarkov:There is no error. The apartment has the rooms, the apartment is the agent.The rooms are the direct object, not the apartment (because it is the apartment that has the rooms not vice versa), but one never uses -n after da.
This can be slightly confusing since it means that word order can be important (which I believe is covered in the Advice part of the course).

klaj:...why is the the Q: not the following?Kiom da ĉambroj havas vian apartamenton = how many rooms own your apartment.
Kiom da cxambroj havas via apartamenton.
Which is quite different to
Kiom da ĉambroj havas via apartamento = how many rooms has your apartment...
