I completely agree
I am one of life's prolific nesters, which always came up to bite me on the arse when I was renting. Twice I moved into nice-enough flats, only to nest away and beautify them, as I always do. Having seen the impact on their property, the landlords made the canny decision to sell them immediately, forcing me to move out as soon as the six-month break clause was up.

And, in some areas, renting is actually more expensive than buying. There's no way we'd have been able to have rent the equivalent of where we are living now (a humble 2 bed flat). It kind of made the decision for us.
