Do you love to rent or own your home? I have always favorite to own our own apartment because whether you rent or buy, you must spend money for the space you occupy. I still love to own, however at the moment, I am renting a townhouse. I have come to discover that renting the space you occupy does indeed have some advantages. The greatest fortune to renting is that as a renter, I am not responsible for the costs of any repairs that have to be made. My property owner & I also have an agreement that anything that costs under $100, I can just get it repaired & deduct the money from the rent payment. That is pretty convenient, & I have done that often! One thing I will never just call a repairman for, though, is the heating & cooling. If the Heating & A/C has a problem, I call the landlord straightaway. It might be something that doesn’t cost a lot, however chances are, any service the air conditioner or heating system needs will cost a pretty penny… Periodically, the heating & cooling companies will charge more than $100 just to make the a/c service call. I think they do that in order to keep people who have no intention of repairing the problem from wasting their time, although I am always astonished by it, anyway. It has become official practice, although I believe they have a lot of nerve. Anyway, in the time I have lived here, the owner has only had to deal with the a/c multiple times, so I think that’s not too bad.
