Most renters go into a new rental situation pretty blind about the landlord. It might be possible to look up previous code violations on the building, but harder to know whether the landlord is going to be the kind that takes months to get to emergency repairs or a nagging bed bug infestation. And in many cities, the housing or building department doesn't inspect unless in response to a complaint or history of complaints.
