This is not the worst landlord I've ever dealt with, but they come awfully close.  During our first year of marriage, my wife and I rented a 1-bedroom apartment at Negley Courts (5628 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh PA 15232); it was an old building with paper-thin walls, but within walking distance of my workplace at the time.  In terms of location, it was near perfect.  In terms of livability, though ... not so much.\n\nThe good: they do allow for one cat for an additional fee every month.  That's about the only good comment I can make about this landlord, sadly enough.\n\nThe bad: walls are paper-thin; there's precious little parking to be had; if you get locked out or need maintenance, chances are that you'll be waiting for hours (we once got acquainted with a very nice neighbor of ours when she got locked out of her apartment; she was still waiting to be let back into her apartment hours later); the entire apartment complex stinks of cigarette smoke.\n\nThe ugly: absolutely not child friendly.  This landlord threatened to kick us out once our baby was born (we'd given them notice far in advance, and they'd told us it would be okay), because he was apparently making too much noise for the tenants around us.  Funny -- I'm a physician with a wife and children; it's not as if we party into the night or anything.  We also had a psycho living one floor down from us who would regularly rant, rave, and threaten harm upon us whenever we made as much as a noise -- even if that noise was just us walking around!  Funny how she never came up to have a discussion with us.\n\nThe verdict: if you happen to be a solitary figure who is away from his/her apartment most of the time, and never have friends over, this may be the landlord for you.  Otherwise, if you have any semblance of a life, avoid this landlord like the plague.
