I think my cat hates her crystal litter...?

So two questions:

1. She started peeing in the dining room after I got the scoopfree litter box. I ended up pulling up the carpet and paying to install tile (I'm renting). Ceiling in the masterbedroom had a leak, she started peeing where the liquid was leaking onto the carpet. My guess was that she wanted to mark her territory over the new smell. The landlord just replaved the carpet in the master bedroom - AND SHE'S PEEING IN THE SAME SPOT AGAIN!!! While the carpet was up I mopped the floor underneath with bleach, then a pet urine neutralizing solution. How can I keep her from peeing there?

2. What's the best automatic litter box that is less than $200 and doesn't use crystal litter? I've heard mixed things about LitterMaid. Litter Robot is too expensive. Is the Omega Paw good or just huge?

    many cats refuse to use the crystal litters. i don't know anything about automatic litter boxes-- i haven't found regular boxes to be a problem-- but you should use a clay litter of some kind. clean the areas where the cat has peed on th carpet with white vinegar.

    cats hate automatic litter box's i know

    and you cant buy one under 200 i think

    i use a unscented cat litter i buy pet pride or cat pride or kroger depends whats on sale and my cats us it thy rarely go else were

    scoop the cat box at least 2 times a day and if i was you i would put the cat box's where she is peeing at if its even in the middle of the floor

    i buy urine off from rule king i dont know if thy sale it any were else and i spray it on the spot wait 24 hours dont let her in that room/rooms and clean it really good with dish soap and spray the urine off on the spot again and repeat it and see if she does it againDO NOT USE BLEACH CATS WILL JUST KEEP PEEING THERE MORE AND DONT USE AMMONIA EATHER

    cats think ammonia and bleach is were another cat went so there trying to cover a cat small because she is trying to tell the unreal cat its her home and stay away

    if your cat is over 7+ she might not be able to hold her urine in so she just goes in thous spots if she couldn't make it to the box

    have her bladder looked at by a vet even if she is 3 for example

    I used corn litter for a while, and it was great cuz it absorbs smells really well.. but its so light and flufffy, my cats tracked it EVERYWHERE. I got tired of finding all over the house.

    the crystal litters can hurt their feet
