Which exactly is the difference in meaning and usage between 'whose' and 'which' in this sentence:

He chose to live in the room which/whose door was broken.
 
I wouldn't use either.

He chose to live in the room with the broken door.
Why not? Who would?
What about 'He chose to live in the room, the door of which was broken.'?
