Small landlords, through ignorance or in a belief that they're too small a fish for government to go after, are often the worst with breaking laws and exploiting tenants.

And also some of the best in terms of tenant/landlord relationship. I loved my last landlord, they took care of things before I bothered mentioning them, were very respectful of our privacy (they'd give several days notice for any maintenance, when only 24 hours was required).

Small landlords can suck or be fantastic, big landlords will almost always suck just a bit. When looking for an apartment, remember, you should be interviewing your landlord as well as them interviewing you. Ask neighbors before signing anything if you can...
