#countries #people #rent #house
Most people of developing countries prefer a rented accommodation
instead
 of buying a new home of their own. Renting a
house
 has benefits of flexibility and is an affordable
option
 for middle class people, but there are
also
 some drawbacks to be taken into account.
Firstly
, people who live in a rented
house
 always have an
option
 to move to a new city or
house
.
In other words
, many people in metro cities have transferable jobs so renting a
house
 seems the best possible
option
 to them because it is not possible for many to buy a new
house
 in every city.
Secondly
, every person cannot afford to buy a
house
 of their choice as it requires to pay a huge amount to the builder so renting a
house
 or apartment seems easy
option
. To state an example, even a poor person can have one room to
rent
 and pay on the monthly basis.
On the other hand
, living in a rented
house
 does not give that liberty or sense of freedom. Many landlords put certain conditions for tenants and those limitations sometimes raise a feeling of dissatisfaction among family members.
For instance
, in major cities, tenants are not allowed to make any hole in the walls and some owners even impose a condition of no noise after midnight. Another possible issue is increasing
rent
 rates in most big cities. In these cities,
rent
 has increased so much that almost half of an employee's income is spent in paying
rent
. In conclusion, while having a rented home certainly has some benefits, it can
also
 lead to dissatisfaction among
people
Suggestion
the people
 or huge burden on the pocket of a poor person.
