WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 2204 WEEK 5
1 ADVANTAGES OF RENTING VERSUS OWNING A HOUSE
-THE ADVANTAGES OF RENTING
-Renting grants a clear monthly expenditure,flexibility and the presence of a person who will
be in_charge of repairs.Renting doesn't signify that we are loosing cash in monthly bases.
-With renting you can leave without problem or without been penalized when ever your lease
stops(lower insurance and no property tax)
-Renting will enable the house owner take care of all the repairing and maintenance cost of
the house (Siegal, R. & Yacht, C. (2009)
THE DISADVANTAGES OF RENTING
-Renting means , if the house owner wants to sell his house,you will be forced to leave the
house
-It equally means that each time the landlord decides to increase the rent ,you will have to
pay for it especially when the lease is ready to be renewed except the house is under rent
control
-Renting means although the landlord is responsible for home maintenance,he or she will not
do it at your convinience.This is usually very annoying .
-We are subject to landlord regulations such as rejection of pets ,quality care of properties
which might bring discomfort.When you rent you get no returns from your investment.
