[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to do what is best for you.  I have rented and owned.  We might need to move in near future for spouse's career.  Will we rent or buy?  Depends.

Will say this, when I rented people were nice to me but I took care of the yard/ house.  Not everyone was friendly, but that is life. Not everyone is friendly in the neighborhood where I own a home.

I ended up taking over a lease of a house from someone who if you google them they are top at what they do for their well-paying career.  World-renowned.  I had no idea who this person was, but my spouse sure did!  They ended up buying and we needed a quick rental so took over their lease.

The house was disgusting. They let their animal(s?) poop inside the house (and no it wasn't senior and it was not a one-time thing). They "hired" cleaners to come in and we saw it before and after and even after the cleaners who took a full day to clean it was still completely utterly disgusting.  We hired our own cleaners and steam cleaners. We had the property manager come in to go over everything so we would get our security deposit back (heard previous tenants did not get sd back).

We ended up staying an extra year onto the original lease and then purchasing a home.  Got our entire security deposit back.  Property manager was kind of useless, so maybe the people didn't like the property manager who knows.  Maybe they had some kind of medical emergency where they trashed their rental?  IDK.

My spouse and I still hear/read about this person (and their family).  I recently read about them and I always wonder if they are that disgusting at the home they own.  They also have $$, so no excuse imo.  Why not hire cleaners once a week?  Is it a mental health issue or you treat this property like trash because you are renting it?

Cool story but completely irrelevant. [/quote]
