Who are these people that supposedly prefer to rent? The only good thing about renting is that, in theory, if something breaks its someone else's problem to get it fixed. But in practice what happens is that you now have an obnoxious middle man in between you and getting the problem fixed and they can just decide fixing it isn't one of their priorities and you just get to deal with shit being broken

So who. Who actually enjoys renting when they intend to stay somewhere long term? Feel like this is just some bullshit landlords came up with to justify why renting is okay and people fell for their propaganda

@eniko Landlords and realtors are the biggest lobbying groups in the USA, so anything you hear published that is about people loving boots on their neck, they probably had a hand in it.

The dishwasher in my apartment had it's bottom arm pop off and melt to the heating element the first week I was here, took them two weeks to come and pop the melted arm back on and say it was good enough. This was after me having to email and call. Definitely no convenience here.
