Well, in Germany tenants are definitely quite well protected in comparison to the UK, even to the point where it’s ridiculously hard and expensive to get rid of tenants that don’t pay the rent …
But yeah, I live in a city that’s quite expensive for renting, my boyfriend and I pay almost 1000 € rent for a two-room flat, so saving up is difficult, and buying something similar would be about 250000 €, which is just madness. Sorry for the off-topic, I was just quite fascinated with Lily and Anna’s house owning situation because it is sooo far removed from my reality, and we’re the same age.
