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 is 3y long term or short term ? my mom's job requires her to be in a single place between 3 to 8 years, and she tried going with buying places then selling at first but it wasn't really working bc finding ppl to get new house is hard and would need money to get new one, so at one point she just snapped and went with rent instead
@SRAZKVT that sounds a lot more like buying is logistically untenable so she rents not that she prefers to rent
@eniko yea she doesn't like it, the previous two landlords we had were uhhh not great, and the current one is uh, not looking great either
