We've gone back and forth. I love that, in a rental, I just call someone when something breaks. My weekends are less full of home chores. I also don't have to make decisions like whether we should fix the 20 year old stove, or replace it, or if it is time to redo the driveway. That's all on someone else.
It's frustrating seeing things not being properly cared for, and sometimes dealing with the fall out. Like the french doors that leaked and the owners knew they needed to be replaced, but they were "too expensive". So every time it rained, I had to check for leaks, set up a fan when I found them, and deal with almost half a dozen visits from a guy who tried to fix it weith a caulk gun. Certainly not the way I'd have handled it, and I hated that it became my problem, especially being home for the repair visits.
I also miss being about to customize the home. I'm someone who really needs (or strongly wants) a home that feels like 'me', and I can't do that. We will likely buy when we move next, because it will be the first time in a long time we think we are likely to stay a while. But there are definitely things I'll miss about being a renter.
