Lately, I’ve been asking the questions about what it means to be “home.” What is that sense of home we all long for? I can confidently say that it’s more than just the place where you lay your head at night.
I wrote this entire guide to renting with my readers in mind. I wanted to create the most up-to-date, comprehensive guide to renting on the internet. I have lived in a lot of different rentals in my adult life. I got tired of little things that make renting and moving so stressful. To be honest, my first 5-6 moves were all disorganized messes that were harder than they needed to be. My goal in writing this was to create a framework for renting that would serve more as a pain-free checklist that helps you get from A to B without the unnecessary problems.
There comes a point in life where people have to decide between renting and buying. A decision about housing usually holds significant weight. If you came to this article expecting a clear-cut answer, then you’re here for the wrong reason. This article is going to unpack some of the questions that need to be asked while you’re going through the process.
