The cost of a real estate attorney for a transaction review is tiny compared to the potential downside. For anything over $100K, budget $1-2K for legal review. It's the best insurance you'll buy.

Get everything in writing with your landlord. Verbal agreements about repairs, rent reductions, or policy changes are unenforceable in practice even when they're technically legal.

Tenant rights vary enormously by state and even by city. What's legal in Houston might be a crime in San Francisco. Always check your local tenant protection ordinance, not just state law.
