Around here, if you rent, your landlord factors those things into the rental price. Admittedly not necessarily the insurance; that typically is just a requirement of the lease.
- diogenescynic 4y agoThe price to rent ratio compares the price to rent vs own. It’s definitely cheaper to rent than to own in many places. You can also get rent control in many cities so comparing renting to owning is going to vary with the specific situation.
- Beldin 4y agoI'm sorry, I must be missing some subtelty here. If renting is indeed cheaper than owning, landlords would be subsidising renters. That can't be correct...
