Renting forever. Yeah, I'd like to own a house, sure. But on the other hand, I don't have to remove snow from my place, I don't have to pay a repair guy to fix stuff when it's broken, don't have to mow the lawn, or maintain the swimming pool. If I have problems with my neighbors, I can complain to management and they'll handle things discreetly without singling me out or involving me.
I suppose it depends on where you live, and what you're paying, but while it's not entirely ideal, it's also not awful.
Which country? In France and Germany tenants are expected to do all of that by themselves. On top of financing their landlord's cocaine, of course.
Edit: actually in Germany it's often the opposite, landlords will tell you about how difficult it is to own a place while sucking your blood off. Shitty country
When stuff breaks, in France you call the owner and it's his duty to repair.
Swimmingpool I guess it's like cleaning the toilet or the fridge, it's your job :-) as for annoying neighbours, either you try to wait it out, you contact them or call the cops.
Something like that, it delends a bit whete you are in France.
Je doute que ton proprio vienne changer un joint de plomberie, et la maintenance de la chaudière est à la charge du locataire, étrangement.
Effectivement, mais quand la chaudière claque, c'est à lui de le changer.
Edit: usure normale bien sûr.
