Two surprised men in suits open a door into a room that has nothing but sand in it. There is a hand sticking out of the sand, showing that the person is drowning.
Rooms aren't supposed to have sand in it, especially if they're functioning as quicksand. The floor would have to be extremely deep as well for someone to sink and drown in it.
Why was the room filled with sand?
Of course, the current tenant will be gone before the first of the month.

A play on words. A landlord might say this to a perspective new tenant (the two men in suits), while the current one is moving out. But here, the joke takes a dark turn: "gone" here means that the currant tenant (currently drowning in quicksand) will be dead.
