Dave,
When a question like this comes up, what do you recommend to root out the flaw?
I saw this argument as a casual flaw problem and attacked it that way and ended up with the wrong answer
(not) pay ---> (no) incentive to conserve
Pay ---> incentive to conserve
which led me to E.
Is this a bad approach when looking for the flaw?
or did I just miss the whole point by not looking closer at the landlord's position? Probably could have seen this if I had looked closer at the answers- C only only one that mentions landlord
Thanks

Remember your language cues; that should help steer you away from (E).
And you're right to concentrate on the conclusion, though I'd put the emphasis on conserving energy rather than on landlords; after all, the argument is trying to conclude that some step will lead to energy conservation.
So in the broadest general terms, we need a choice that most powerfully (hence the importance of language cues in answer choices) works against conservation.
