Same with homes, renting can provide lower monthly payments vs a mortgage. But with a mortgage you own the home and eventually you'll have no monthly payment, whereas renting means you'll always pay and the landlord has the final say in matters.

But with a mortgage you own the home

Do you? Or do you start owning it after paying off the mortgage?

At least you can't get kicked out or have your rent raised for arbitrary reasons. Some renters are basically moving every year.

Fair enough, I suppose. Although I'm relatively sure that the bank can mess with the credit conditions
