You will not know if your tuner is good or bad until you get an OUTSIDE antenna. I have/tried a Terk Pro-- it is barely ok and will not give you a strong signal if you have a weak signal now.
You say you are in a rented house. Isn't there an existing antenna pole ? Add a Radio Shack FM antenna(FM only - maybe $40 ) to the pole and run the best shielded coax thru the existing holes in the wall(alongside the other antenna wires) to your tuner. That will give the best signal possible.
A FM antenna will work good mounted in the attic -- not as good as outside, but way better than other indoor antennas.
Even a FM whip antenna mounted outside the window mite work. Drill a hole in the window frame and caulk around the coax wire. There is no "hole in the wall". When you move you simply caulk the hole when you remove the wire and whip. Of course first try the whip antenna thru the window before drilling any holes to see if it gives a good signal!
Buying a better tuner mite help a little, but prob not. You need a good signal for anything to work!
