What are some advantages to renting a house?

Answer 1

In urban settings it may be the standard for housing (not much room for country cottages in Downtown New York), and people may choose to live in an apartment in the city to be close to their place of work. These can be the shoddy, thin walled one and two bedroom numbers or very elegant, homey setups that cover an entire floor of the building. Even the least of these can be very expensive in crowded urban settings, where space is a precious commodity. In suburban settings, it is often more economically efficient to live in an apartment than in a house. Apartment life does have its perks; sometimes a closeknit community can develop between residents, and there is that community pool for hot summer days.

Answer 2

Apartments bring such amenities as care free living. No yard cleanup costs, no snow clean up costs, anything breaks you contact building or landlord to fix or change it out. Basically your costs for anything that would be extras is taken care of and usually your utilities are included.

Answer 3

One advantage to renting a house is that you are not responsible to fix something when it breaks or needs attention. You just call up the landlord, and they have it taken care of. You also do not have to pay property taxes, and monthly rent may be cheaper than a monthly house payment. It has more flexibilty if you need to move quickly for a job, etc.

Answer 4

Apartment rental agencies are more useful for moving a long distance or in crowded urban settings such as New York. Another plus is that you only have to deal with one agent who can give you information about the neighborhood, schools, and amenities instead of multiple landlords.
