Many former home owners turned to renting when the Great
Recession hit and joined those were already renting a home, condo or apartment.
These people found some benefits to renting versus owning a home, which Forbes Living TV details below.
- Renters do not have the responsibility or cost of home repairs.
- They do not have to worry about lawn maintenance.
- They can pack up and move when the lease expires.
- They can negotiate for a better rate when moving in or when renewing, and add perks such as a new microwave oven, free carpet and air duct cleaning and valet trash service.
The Forbes Living TV show encourages readers to be sure to
explore different cities and towns close to work before signing a rental lease.
Also, be sure to read every page of the lease, even if the lease it long – as most
are. Ask questions. Be very much informed about what the lease covers and does
not cover, when rent is due and what the late fee is per day. These are items
which can make renting pleasant or miserable. Renting is not for everyone. But
neither is home ownership.
