I've run the gamut with a lot of these problems as I have been usually looking for the cheapest place in every city I've lived. My tip is to look for a good landlord or property mgmt. Even if the apt. isn't as nice as others it makes your life easier. Look at little things such as how long it takes a landlord or property mgmt to return a call or email, I start with email and see. If they don't return a call or email in a few business days (2 at most) move on. If they won't get back to you when you try to spend money they won't when they have to spend money. I had a landlord tell me that refrigerators are supposed to leak water, which pooled in the middle of our kitchen floor.

Talk to neighbors when the landlord isn't around and find out from them. drop letters in mailboxes or just go back and knock on doors. It is weird but helpful and you get to know who lives there.

Thanks for the heads up on Charley Harper sale. Also thank you for including Cincy in the post. It was nice to find something we could go to among the large and more glamorous cities. Picked up a few prints and a poster for the Nature Center we had our wedding rehearsal at in June!
