right, thats why Im confused why anyone would rather rent

Maybe because you're young and you don't want to commit to buying a house yet? Or you've just got a new job in a distance place but need somewhere quickly? You can't exactly tell your new employer you can't start until 6 to 9 months while you look for a house and go through all the legal process to buy one. Also some people just don't want to have to maintain it themselves. Boiler breaks? Landlords problem. Need a new roof? Landlord takes the hit.

Furnished rentals are definitely a thing here. Unfortunately shitty landlords exist everywhere.
