You ever rent from a private landlord, instead of letting agency?

I'm Finnish, and what you say has been true for me — aside from when my credit got fucked (due to some semiauthoritarian bullshit), when I had to rent from a private landlord.

That was more or less exactly how the earlier commenter describes it; an interview. Luckily I was just over 20 and out of the army as an NCO, so the old couple were really into that and gave me the apartment.

I also used to believe our cops weren't that bad. Until I was detained and saw how they act behind closed doors.

I've only rented from companies as it's generally safer and you know that they will (most likely) follow the law.

You never know what you get when you rent from people, their professionality and knowledge of the various laws are highly variable. You could get lucky, and you could get very unlucky.
