State and local laws matter a lot. I moved to a tenant-friendly state (NY) from a tenant-unfriendly state (Texas). NY has much stronger protections for renters. Better eviction laws, access to housing court, and actual enforcement of housing laws.

For what it's worth, tenant-friendly states also have higher rents, even among cities of comparable size and incomes. Nothing happens for free.
