anubis m | How does it make you feel when you have to give the landlord all your hard earned money for rent? |
you give the landlord all your money for rent while he sits on his ***. with the cost of living rising, who can aford to buy there own house? Is this another form of slavery or enslavement that the government deliberately overlooks becaue of the big tax payoff? in other words "shut up money". |

It should make you feel good. You work, you pay bills. It is what it is |

We have a place to live and a house we like. Yes, it would be nice if we could buy our own house. But until that time comes, you have to rent. That's the way it is. Not every landlord sits on his butt. Mine, he owns his own construction company. |

I did not feel particularly bad when I had to pay rent. I was exchanging money for a service. Whenever I had a beef with my landlord, or holding company, and they did not resolve it I simply moved on. It is a business decision on both of our parts. As for the this being a form of slavery I doubt it as you can always repudiate the contract at the end and move on. For slavery try the armed forces. The constitution and bill of rights are waived when you join and you fall under military law only, unless they want to allow you to fall under civil.
As for the landlord just sitting on their tush and collecting the money. They have their own issues, if they do not pay the mortgage then they lose control of building. True slumlords do still exist and that is why there are housing laws. Now if we could just get someone to enforce them or at least help folks to protect their selves to some extent. |

it is not slavery that the government overlooks. if you don't like paying rent, get with a good mortgage lender and see what it would take to get you out of the rent race and into a home of your own. most people can afford a home and just don't realize it. it all depends on your own situation. bad credit and downpayments can be worked around if you know how. email me maybe i can help droemer05@yahoo.com |

You don't really have much of a choice about the matter. Either live with mom & dad, rent, buy a home, or be homeless. My father-in-law is a landlord and he does not sit on his ***. He works very hard and is using the rent to pay the mortgage for the property. |

Aggravating since the cost of living is so high in CA I throw my money away renting but can't afford to buy. |

I don't have all of my money going to rent. Not even a full paycheck goes to rent. I am happy to be able to pay my bills on my own, so I guess in a way it makes me feel good when I pay rent. |

A reputable landlord banks money for eventual repairs and remodeling. It means you don't have to do yard work (in most cases) and it means you don't have to pay for repairs or a huge down payment.
If you don't like it, save up and get that 20% so you can buy your own. |

That means you are NOT managing your money wisely. Build a budget and allocate less money for rent, then go and find a place WITHIN your possibilities... |

I throw my money away by renting, but it's cheaper to rent than it is to buy. Just make sure you live in a place that you can afford. |

Paying rent is okay, if you consider the alternatives.
How does it feel to have a roof over your head?
How does it feel to not have a large mortgage payment every month? |

most people rent cuz they cant afford the downpayment on a house or prefer it that way to avoid property taxes, homeowner's insurance, etc. but renting has been a way of life. i mean, if someone wants to move out on their own from under their parents' roof but cant afford to buy a home, what other choice is there. renting is not a form of slavery, it's an individual's choice. you can make your choices expand but moving to a state where the cost of living is cheaper or share an apt with someone to help w/ the rising costs. |
