MF, i rent intentionally to avoid surprise roof bills and the like, and I still pay my property taxes as part of that. It’s built in, neither owner nor manager is taking it on as a cost of doing biz.
Personally, because I WFH for a giant company, it matters not whether I live in RI or LA. It matters a great deal to me, however, and covering that expense monthly beats hell out of paying annually.
If I can calculate why that makes sense to/for us and our lifestyle, so can these loons.
I absolutely know that one way or another, it will get billed to me. But by not owning, I’ve the privilege of paying it as I prefer and literally (and legally) making the property taxes someone else’s problem.
I don’t have to care, I just pay what I said I’d pay, and if things change and we need to up stakes for whatever (likely political) reason, I can do it without screwing around with house showings and RE agents.
Conscious choice to simplify future bills and problems > blowing it off with bullshit.
