Obama's address in Somerville, Massachusetts -He rented 365 Broadway (Winter Hill)

Obama could share at least one experience with today’s Winter Hill resident: the plague of parking tickets. When he left town in 1990 he left behind $400 in unpaid fines and late fees because of traffic violations in Cambridge and $72.63 in excise taxes and $45 in late penalties in Somerville. Those fines went unpaid for almost two decades until in 2007, a few months into his campaign, Obama paid the fines and cleared his name as a scofflaw.

Winter Hill is a slightly scary neighborhood. For a long time it was the home of the Irish mafia (not the Kennedys — that branch of the Irish mob lived in Brookline)http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2008/02/sharing_an_apar.html

Obama's apt in DC is a rental, it caught on fire on Father's day in 2007. "The fire appeared to be on the third floor of a townhouse in northeast Washington, and was likely caused by an old fan that had malfunctioned" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,283612,00.html His apt that caught on Fire
