“Rent” is not a four-letter word

AMY (name has been changed for this article), who was burdened by her mortgage repayments, felt liberated when sale of her SOHO unit was finalised. She moved into a rented bungalow, started her vegetable and herbs garden, and set up the rest of the big house to run her private dining.

Mimi (also not her real name), who experienced an unfortunate confrontation with some unsavoury people at her front gate, promptly moved into a condo for added security. Recently, she moved her family into a large house within a gated residential area.
