There are many reasons why renting a house may be preferable to buying one. You may not be able to afford a house at this time.

It must be said that there are advantages to renting instead of buying a home. In many cases, you receive furnishings as well as utilities without having to provide any of these things on your own. This enables you to pay a fixed price that you can count on. You may be able to enter into a deal that will "lock" the price of your rental so that it will be guaranteed not to increase while you are a tenant.
The price that you pay for a rental will vary according to a wide number of factors. An unfurnished home will generally cost less to rent. Some properties may charge less for rent because you will be expected to pay the price of the utilities yourself. In most cases, you will need to provide the first and last month's rent, along with a security deposit of equal value.
If the monthly rent for a certain property is $1,200, you will typically need to provide $3,600 in advance. A qualified real estate agent can help you find a rental property that fits your personal preferences and physical needs as well the size of your budget.
