The New York Times has a large piece in the real estate section today about what people need to know when they want to rent.
They make some good points, but they also get a little bogged down in rent stabilization, as if that should be a renter's main concern. It shouldn't be. I'll expand on it more later. Renting an apartment is a fairly simple process, but this piece made it sound like a complicated legal transaction. It's not.
In the meantime, you can read the piece here.
