I am on my third landlord in almost four years that has turned out to be either a coke addict, a drunken jerk or both..... a few weeks ago my landlady [who lives on the same property] ended up at my door with the hell beat out of her by her drunken jerk of a husband ... to make a long story short I called the cops... and again a few days later when he came back to the property against an RCMP order and was trying to cause problems. He was not charged with the breach but warned not to come back here. Well .... he has been staying here now for about 5 days and she came to me 'telling' me not to call the cops because she has taken this goof back..... so .... I am quite done.... I expect the worst case scenario here soon because the 'honeymoon' period will be over sooner than later! This is NOT what I agreed to pay rent for ! This is NOT peaceful enjoyment!
Suggestions?

If you explain your past experiences with landlords and ask if s/he would mind if you checked with previous tenants, I imagine it would be alright, assuming that the landlord has nothing to hide. It would be a good idea to ask about the length of tenancy of other tenants (past or currently living there.) If, for example, they've all only stayed a few months....red flag!!!
