Many people today value owning their own home over renting. Whilst the majority of Egyptians prefer owning their
house
, in the developed countries they prefer to
rent
 rather than own because of affordability factors,
property
 taxes, and maintenance costs. I am of the belief that renting homes are better than owing and I think that it’s a negative situation to insist on owing properties. Both aspects will be
further
 explained below. At the beginning, owning a
house
 gives a sense of personal achievement and considered as a source for addition income. Being the owner of
house
Suggestion
the house
a house
 means there is no one over the shoulder to watch what someone is doing and no sudden notice for evacuation.
Furthermore
, the owners can use his
property
 to insure a bank loan for business or any financial problem.
Besides
, the owners can
rent
 the
house
 and
this
 can be a steady source of earning for them.
For instance
, many
house
 owners use the Airbnb platform to offer their apartments for travellers, which consider as source of foreign income.
Hence
, many residents take their decision to own homes than
rent
 it.
On the contrary
, people often
rent
 a
house
 because it saves a massive amount of money than purchasing a
property
 which requires a great deal of money. There are several advantages of renting for families, renting a
property
 helps them keep their expenses in check by avoiding mortgage interests,
property
 taxes, and expensive maintenance.
Moreover
, renters can change the living place based on the location of their workplace and children’s school. The renovation of the renting is the landlord’s responsibility and the tenants do not need to worry about it. To conclude, after
this
 essay has shown the merits of renting, it may be said that insisting on owing houses is a negative situation, and I support the renting situation.
