an advantage of renting a home is that you don't have to fix any appliances or structures of the home your landlord does that for you. disadvantages are you have to follow their rules, you can't change anything on the inside like the paint or add a room to the home. in the state of Washington and landlord can evict you with only 20 days notice if they want to permanently sell the property. that's called a no-fault eviction. that's all I can think of hope that helps
