I've lived in apartments in 6 cities (including 2 foreign countries). Does that make me an expert? As of now, my ceiling isn't leaking and I don't have rodents (knock on wood) -- so I'm going to say yes . . . but ask me again tomorrow:) These days, I'm kickin' it Brooklyn style but I'm a Chicago-gal at heart.
P.S. By day I work at GolinHarris, but these opinions are totally, 100% my own.
