5.0 out of 5 stars A Must have For Anyone Looking to Rent, October 21, 1999

By	Ms. Heather M. Shank (Dover, Delaware) - See all my reviews

This book was an excellent resource for someone who is a first time renter, like myself. It provided information that I would have never thought of without guidance from Sacks. I think it saved me by showing me the right questions to ask a landlord and also how to get results once I moved in. I learned important information and used the many checklists and worksheets to help me make the move from home to home smooth. I highly recommend this book to anyone with first time jitters or someone who thinks they may be a seasoned pro.

1.0 out of 5 stars all renter's handbooks, March 18, 2001

By	Tammy (Cooleemee,north carolina) - See all my reviews

I feel it is wrong to advertise these books like this so people can read up on them, enter into your rental property, use what's in these books to destroy your property, then call up zoning and building inspectors, to have them on there side, then you have to fix these problems at your expense. We just rented a brand new mobile home to a man, that had never been lived in, who has already destroyed this property, voided the warrenties, and is still there, due to people writing these books, and the laws protecting them, even though it's wrong.
