Renting a house/ flat

[Moonstone2.0]

We rent, even if it is expensive because I don't believe I could afford the upkeep. I have lived in 4 rented properties since 2008 and all of them at some point have needed substantial repairs due to either weather, leak or some unearthed problem. E.g the roof started leaking and needed a re-roof. I call the landlord "waters coming in" he then got a contractor to come fix it and has a new loan to pay off on top of everything else. I couldn't pay if the bathroom pipes burst and the bathroom needed refitted. I am comfortable renting and probably will for a while. Who has a 15 grand deposit sitting around. So even if buying is cheaper say by £150 quid. Well that's £150 ill have to pay on a loan for the deposit plus then pay for any repairs. Na thanks

Oh and if i get bored living here, I hand in my one month notice and can move somewhere else (with a bit of estate agent fees but nothing like selling and buying)
