However, when I use #raise_error , I have to rescue it, otherwise an actual exception is raised and the script bails.

This:
RentalMap.make_marker('asdf').should raise_error(RuntimeError, 'The 1st argument (property) should be a Property')

You need to send :should to a Proc:

lambda { RentalMap.make_marker('asdf') }.should raise_error(blah, blah)

I'll be every RSpec user has made this mistake at least once (in my case, numerous times). I wonder if it would be possible for the matcher to call this out?

Thanks for that tip, Mark. When you have a minute, would you mind explaining why #should needs to be sent to a Proc?
