As a renter, above 5 thins that you’re no need to worry about. All of these things you can just throw to your landlord to take care of. Other than that, you can save money too and you can either use your savings to buy your own house in the future or invest in somethings else like stocks.

While the disadvantages of renting a house is you don’t own that home legally and you can’t receive the incentives from the property itself. Besides, if you want to renovate the home, wall painting and etc, you will need to get landlord consent before doing it.
For me, I rather work hard to save more money for down payment to purchase a house. Because renting a house is just helping the landlord to pay off the house installment. In addition, you are unable to maintain the annual rents as the landlord will increase the rent every year. But there is no choice for the people who working out of state, then you should be a smart renter by rent a house with your friends so can lesser your burden or rent a smaller space.
