    Rent pays for all those things generally. Landlords just have the benefit of having money in the bank (typically due to assistance from their parents). The entire purpose of renting use to make a profit, if rent doesn’t cover maintenance and taxes then rent will increase until it surpasses maintenance and taxes.

      hmm i know a lot of renters whose parents pay their rent. weird.

      lots of people also rent below profit or cost. my sister rented to my mother below cost for 5 years.
