    Not in most cities I have been to. If rent wasn’t constantly trying to squeeze renters to the point of maximum pain I would agree, but payments on a fixed rate mortgage are massively lower than rent.

    Renting is just super stressful.

      again, renters’ rights. what you’re complaining about isn’t renting, it’s the lack of renters’ rights.

      it’s illegal in sweden to do that shit, there are strict rules on how much you can increase rent and especially if you live in municipal housing they don’t pressure you at all, my dad has postponed his payments like twice and they were absolutely fine with it.
