I keep my waiting context active but I put it at the bottom of my context list. I scan it every day or two to see whether there's anything in there I need to move on. I also use the start date liberally, as a tickler, for things I'm waiting on. To take your example, I might give my landlord a week to get back to me, so I'll enter "1w" in the start date field. When I do that consistently, the waiting context (with my view bar set to show available actions) only shows things that might need attention.
