If I'm paying all the costs of home ownership I might as well just buy a damn house.

People are really out here thinking they can be a home owner while having somebody else pay all the costs of home ownership. You're telling me I'm paying for landscaping, window replacement, the damn gutters? The fact that they included the line about the gutters at all tells me they really do intend to charge their tenants for every aspect of home ownership and not even just the normal wear and tear (which... why is rent not covering that? Why are you not saving away the cost of rent for normal home maintenance? Maybe because you're actually just trying to profit like a lazy ass). Like the gutters are going to get clogged whether I live in your house or not. I have nothing to do with your gutters. Your house, your problem. Except I guess not because why worry about it when you can get some schmuck to cover it for you instead?

All this is not included in the 4k monthly cost of rent, of course. And the place is not nice. It is crusty as hell. I toured it. I know.

I do not mind living in a very lived-in space, but not for that cost and not while literally owning a house for someone in their stead while getting exactly none of the benefits of home ownership.
