What is the difference between a house and an apartment?
House vs. Apartment
In most cases, a house is owned by the person/people in it. An apartment is rented/leased to those who occupy it. An appartment is managed by a landlord and a house is managed by the person to whom it belongs to. There is major differences in price. Houses can easily cost 3x as much as an apartment! Maintenance is also a big difference. In an apartment, any alteration or remodeling procedure has to be performed, or at least approved by the landlord. On the contrary, you can tear down a wall and paint everything green in your own house! Usually the deal is, before two people get married, they live in an apartment before buying their own house. But it depends on your situation and preferences. Apartments also vary in size, and location too. But most are basic, with a handful of bedrooms and a couple bathrooms in a urban, or suburban area. But they all should be in good condition. Often apartments are unexpectantly inspected, though most of them are found fit, it is very annoying. The unamaginable, simplest things are nessecary or mandatory. Similiar to preparing your home for a newborn, every single adjustment matters.
