Then buy a fucking maintenance contract, just like landlords do.

Why do you care so much how someone else chooses to live their life? Some people want to rent and it’s no one else’s business to make them do any different.

If you want to own a house and a buy a maintenance contract go for it.

I personally wouldn’t wish dealing with a home warranty company claim on my worst enemy. They are all scams geared to deny claims.

Maybe because corporate ownership of houses is taking over the market and driving people out of home ownership? Have you missed the news of the last many years? And because there is limited number of houses in reasonable distance (aka it's not like selling widgets).

Thanks for your reply, I hadn’t really thought of it this way before

A maintenance company is not a home warranty company.
