"When renting a house, at least in Washington, D.C., tenants are responsible for taking care of yard work and often have to keep track of external repairs that wouldn't be an issue with an apartment - think: lawn maintenance, tree trimming, clogged gutters, [and] snow shoveling."
"I also liked living in a real house because we had multiple floors with clearly delineated common space. Our rooms were all on the second floor or in the attic, which meant going upstairs felt like a retreat from social time."
"Both Katie and Ali Aoun, another renter we spoke with, said their rented houses came with the standard array of appliances, although Ali's washer was broken, which wasn't communicated until after move-in."
"Pro: You May Get More Free Stuff. Renting a house often comes with a larger space, but also with added responsibilities that should be carefully considered."
