Many people may own a house of their own but we cannot deny the fact that there are also people who only rent the place where they stay. If people are renting, it does not mean that they dont have a house of their own. It can be that they are working away from home and it is very difficult for them to go home everyday. Another reason is that they may be studying far from their homes and it can cost them a lot of money if they to go home after classes. In these simple cases, they may prefer to rent rather than to go home and take the burden of traveling and having too many expenses. But there are also people who rent for the very reason that they dont have a house of their own. As renters or tenants, it does not mean that they cannot enjoy the privileges that other homeowners have. These tenants are also people that have a right to respect and protection. They should be given a good privilege for the reason that they are also paying a certain amount for the place they rent. They have the right to have a decent and comfortable place that is also equivalent to the amount that they are paying. Some homeowners abuse their power as owners of the house. They ask a higher amount for the rent but the place is not that comfortable for the people who live there. But that is the sad reality, these renters dont have the power to demand because for the very reason that they are only renters. But renters have all the rights to be protected by renters insurance. They have all the rights to be comfortable and feel safe in the place they are staying. They should be given the privilege to be respected and not to be abused. They should be taught on how to escape safely in cases of fire, earthquakes and other unforeseen events that can cost their lives. The landlord from whom they are renting should follow some safety measures to prevent such incidents or to mitigate their consequences. They also have the right to be informed on what are the basic guidelines in the rented place to avoid misunderstanding. Maybe these people are only renting the place, but they should enjoy equal rights as homeowners. They should be given proper comfort and protection based on the rental payments that they are paying. Renters are also people that need to be respected and to be loved. |
