If you are not yet ready to own a home then, the best thing to do is to rent. What is wrong about renting a property if you don't have the means to buy a new home?   There is always the right time for everything. Now is the time to rent a place and pay for the lease responsibly so that you will have a good relationship with the landlord. Plus, renting a place will give you more time to save until the right time comes that you can buy your own place.   But before that, you have to focus your attention learning more about leasing and renting rules and regulations. What about deposits? For first timers, there is a great need for a deep understanding of renting a property. And, you have to do your best to develop a good relationship with the landlord so you can freely and comfortably discuss the rules and regulations together. Plus, you need to be responsible with your own actions as a tenant and this is not just a part of the contract but a must-attitude that every tenant must know.   Renting a place is a new experience which you should take seriously, too.
