Final answer:

The incorrect verb in the sentence is 'meets', which should be 'meet' to match the plural subject 'few'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error in subject-verb agreement in the sentence 'We've viewed a number of rental apartments but few meets our criteria for our next home affordability proximity to parks and shops and a quiet location' is the verb 'meets'. The correct form should be 'meet' since the subject 'few' is plural and it requires the plural form of the verb. Correcting the error, the sentence should read: 'We've viewed a number of rental apartments but few meet our criteria for our next home affordability, proximity to parks and shops, and a quiet location.'
