Responsibility<\/strong><\/td>\nYour only responsibility: paying your rent on time and inform the landlord when problems occur.<\/td>\nYou carry the greater responsibility: you need to fix problems that come up.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Flexibility<\/strong><\/td>\nRenting a house gives you the flexibility to move whenever you like (after minimum tenancy period).<\/td>\nBuying a house can get in the way of your flexibility. You can not just pick up and move.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Investment Possibility<\/strong><\/td>\nPaying a rent doesn\u2019t give you anything back for your investment.<\/td>\nYour property could increase in value after some time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
