I agree with what Tiva said. Be sure you print out all correspondence between you and the landlord, be sure everything is dated and so forth, and get everything in writing before you sign off on anything. That way, if you get screwed over, you have everything you need to show the authorities.

Also be sure to ask about potential pest problems. My friend E rented a place, and within a month she had a huge wasp infestation on the back porch area. The landlord wouldn't do anything about it, saying it was her problem. So, you know, check for potential problems like that as well. If you can, visit the place right after a heavy rain to check for leaks and whatnot.

Other than that, though, you should be good to go.
