That would be my first option if neighbours etc are ok, you can choose a house but you can't choose your neighbours.
I'v rented for 20 odd years never been checked, maybe I have an honest face, more like a crimewtach uk face!!
Just take loads of photos of the place condition etc, every landlord has tried to screw me for deposit, one even took me to court for £240, cost him £1100 in solicitors fees but he's happy even though he lost!!
