2. Cheap landlord
Answer: Stanley Roper
Stanley Roper (played by Norman Fell) is the owner and manager of the apartment complex where several of the other characters live. He is shown as very cheap (described as the "cheapest man alive" by the other characters). Because Chrissy and Janet are worried that Stanley will not allow Jack to share an apartment with them, they convince him that Jack is homosexual, which seems to satisfy Stanley. Interestingly though Stanley sometimes makes jokes about Jack's homosexuality, he generally seems to like him.
The character of Stanley Roper appeared in 54 episodes, mostly in the first three seasons, but with a single appearance in season five. He also appeared in "The Ropers".
3. Divorced renter
Answer: Lana Shields
Lana Shields (played by Ann Wedgeworth) is an tenant in the apartment complex who has been divorced three times. She (in her early 40s) actively pursues Jack (in his late 20s), who generally is uninterested in her advances. John Ritter thought that the character of Jack should have been more receptive to Lana's advances. Ralph Furley tried to pursue Lana, in which she was generally uninterested. She would sometimes reciprocate interest if she was trying to get something from Ralph.
The character appeared in nine episodes in season four.

6. Blond-haired nurse
Answer: Terri Alden
The final blonde, female roommate of the trio, Terri Alden (played by Priscilla Barnes) works as a nurse.

The character appeared in 70 episodes in seasons six through eight.
7. Playboy landlord

Ralph Furley (played by Don Knotts) thinks of himself as a real ladies' man, though he is usually shown as unsuccessful at this.

9. Fond of the muumuus
Answer: Helen Roper
Wife of Stanley, Helen Roper (as portrayed by Audra Lindley) often wears muumuus and is often frustrated because of her husband's lack of interest in sex.
