I second craigslist. More junk to weed through than Punaweb non-classified, but because craigslist is free it's very attractive to people who want to advertise less expensive places. It's also easy to use.
At this point you might want to think whether you'd rather rent through professional management, after your experience with psycho landlord (who writes a good letter).
Both landlords and tenants have to be careful here about future issues over perceived damages and other junk. I have had the tenants from hell, who tried to set up a harassment case against us almost from Day One, nice until they got a lease and then turned nasty. Well, I'm sure there are also landlords who will try to make you out to have damaged their property, so do be careful. Take photos, etc..
There are lots of NICE folks with a place to rent, and there are some creeps. Unless you know them or know people who know them (like at Punaweb), you might be safer with a professional management company than taking a chance on getting tied to another wacko like the one you just escaped.
