    But with a mortgage you own the home

    Do you? Or do you start owning it after paying off the mortgage?

      At least you can’t get kicked out or have your rent raised for arbitrary reasons. Some renters are basically moving every year.

        Mortgages can change repayments amounts as the central lending rate changes.

        We’re in a squeeze in Canada right now because rates went up and a bunch of mortgages are up for renewal. (5-year fixed rate is standard here)
