8. Might be an address issue.

When I moved away from home and was looking for a rental with a buddy who also needed a roommate to share expenses we looked at places. "103B Griffith Street," for example, wasn't the house in front but the house or outside entrance in back through a gate. The problem was that the usual assumption is that the backyard goes with the house in front, not that there were two separate houses rented by the same owner, and that "103B" should be a side-by-side duplex or obvious set of houses. Not a house where the front and back were separated out so the back half's 'front door' faces the alley.

We appreciated the occasional sign that indicated that the "B" address was in the back.
