In most of the countries, people prefer to rent their homes rather than buying them. Do the advantages overweigh disadvantages of renting a home?

#countries #people #rent #homes #overweigh #home
Most people prefer to have their own home since it could offer security and safety.
However
, thinking logically which
one
 is more convenient? and renting a
house
 has more advantages than buying
one
?
to begin
 with, renting a home is more relaxing than buying
one
 since it is cheaper in the short term. People that rent a
house
 do not need to pay interest on mutual, so every
month
's fee is cheaper than buying a
house
.
For instance
, people that are buying a
house
 with mutual have to pay 1000 euro per
month
 while a fellow
that is
 renting an apartment just pay 600 per
month
, so, he could use 400 to enhance his lifestyle quality.
on the other hand
, buying an apartment is cheaper in the long term and you can structure it as you prefer. The advantage of acquiring a
house
 is that you pay some additional money every
month
 but after a determinate amount of years that
house
 is your property, differently from renting
one
. By renting a
house
 the renter could not restructure it as he/she wants, so, he could not live in an ideal home;
furthermore
, the renter should follow several rules imposed by the owner. overall, renting a
house
 is not as convenient as purchasing
one
 for the different reasons mentioned above.
Therefore
, especially for youngsters is much more convenient to acquire a
house
 at an early age since it will offer a benefit in the long run.
