Nice thing about renting is that when something major breaks in my apartment like plumbing or the heater it costs me nothing to get it repaired or replaced. Heck this week they replaced my broken screen door for free and do clean my carpets every year for free that I renew my lease.
Homes are VERY EXPENSIVE to maintain especially when a major issue comes up. Most folks fail to see this until after the fact and with the major cash outlay just to get into a home, it is a lot more to buy than rent. At least until prices drop enough where its about the same cost to buy versus rent but I do not see this for at least a couple more years.
