2. Unfortunately, being a "problem" tenant means more than rules and regulations.

The landlords and apartment managers don't actually care if the money that they receive comes from legitimate sources of income or from people that make their livings dealing drugs, engaging in prostitution or anything else. If you can show a bank statement that indicates a certain balance (about 3 times the rent over the amount of time you are renting), then you are in the door.

People that complain too much (whether they are police complaints or complaints about maintenance) are considered problem tenants and if they aren't evicted then they will not be eligible for a new lease.
