hi there!
yes we have done that - only moved back into our own house last year after 2 years renting and are about to move out again and rent ! lol

we dont mind it at all - especially when we make more money this way.

if they sell it i think it is 4 weeks for 'acquistion' if it is sold. but it may differ each state.

as for not being able to do our own thing... yeah it sucked not being able to put nails in the walls for photos (3m hooks only) other wise - they did all the repairs etc so it was good lol.

we have had the chance to live in great places and neighbours and explore the country this way with the knowledge we always have 'somewhere' to eventually fall back on
