Many renters focus entirely on the apartment itself, but researching the landlord can be just as important.

A landlord’s management style, maintenance responsiveness, and communication habits can greatly impact a tenant’s living experience.

Renters should look for:

  • Online tenant reviews
  • Property management company reputation
  • Previous tenant complaints
  • History of rent increases

Doing this research before signing a lease can prevent many common rental problems.
