Good advice or bad advice?

“I’ve always been able to find plenty of good apartments, but end up with a crappy landlord each time. How can I find a home to rent that isn’t owned by someone awful?” a Lifehacker.com reader asks columnist Adam Dachis.

The answers are thorough and outlines the pros and cons of renting through a corporate property management company, a multi-properly local landlord and a single-property landlord.

Our favorite part is the advice that “If you’ve had a string of bad landlords, it’s worth considering that you might actually be the problem.”

What do you think, is their full advice right on? What would you add?

Edna is the nosy neighbor who is poking her nose in everyone's business. She's listening with a cup at someone's back door, going through neighbors' trash, and peeking at passerbys from behind the curtain- and she's hopped up on coffee, so be kind to her, lest she points her binoculars in your direction.
