I guess it's time to abolish apartment buildings then. And how dare someone want to rent a house/condo/apartment when they only expect to live in a city for a couple years.

Landlords do not create apartment buildings. Developers do that. Developers should get more reward for developing things and landlords should get less. Landlords do not manage properties. Property managers do that. Property managers should get more reward for managing properties and landlords should get less. Sometimes these are the same individuals and they lump their fees into a single check, but these are not the same jobs and they should not be treated the same.

  How else do live in an area short term, with no desire to purchase property, without the existence of someone owning the rented property?

    How would I own a microwave if I only needed a microwave for two months?

      A microwave is orders of magnitude cheaper and easier to purchase than housing. In fact, they appear to be too cheap to be available at Aaron's for rent. So you're going to have to cough up $50 for a microwave from Walmart if you only want one for two months.

        Houses would be a reasonable price if you couldn't profit off them, too. Probably cheap enough that anyone could get a mortgage working at McDonalds and if you had a good job you could just buy one.

        Even if houses were half the cost, buying and selling one would be a long, cumbersome process that I would not want to go through just to live in a city short term. You're running off the false assumption that no one wants to rent.
