When your Orlando apartment's lease is up, you can just move on. Plus, with apartments you never have to repair anything! The apartment's management company is certain to send a repairman every time something goes wrong in your apartment! Renting an Orlando apartment, you don't have to pay a huge mortgage payment every month, or HOA fees! No huge down payment either, just your security deposit! You may find that there are many advantages to have when living in an Orlando apartment over a house.
