In the house I own yet could not afford to rent I have no issue with those unexpected costs because I am able to save the money that is not going to a landlord in order to pay them.
The renter is paying for the cost of a new roofer or HVAC system anyway, whether the home ends up needing one or not, and they have zero say in how or when it happens.
What you’re not getting is that’s a plus to some people. They don’t have to worry about budgeting and all of that.
Just because you don’t get anything from a rental situation doesn’t mean no one can. I absolutely know people who have sold their houses and went back to renting because they were tired of the hassle of home ownership.
