Why is it cheaper than owning a home? Because landlords are driving up the price of homes by using an essential human right as speculative asset and investment class.

The burden is imposed by the "provider", as a result of their greed.



If a central AC unit blows you’re staring at a $4-$5k bill, mandatory, or you have no AC.

If your attic gets some mold that will be $8k to get rid of it.

Home insurance, you must pay. Property tax, you also have to pay. Water and electricity too.

Or, you can pay a housing provider a flat monthly fee, and not worry about any of that.
