Renting or owning: what changes

  • One-time costs

    Buying adds transfer tax, legal fees and an inspection, paid on closing.

  • Monthly costs past the mortgage

    Property tax, strata and insurance are on top of the mortgage. Compare the total with your rent.

  • Flexibility

    A lease is easier to leave. Owning suits staying put for some years.

To see the year owning starts to cost less than renting, try rent or buy.
