Agreed. The most relevant terminal value for me is not having to put up with other peoples’ rules and restrictions. The current situation is non-optimal in that sense in several ways—there’s the obvious stuff like not being able to paint or make changes to the space, but there’s also things like occasionally having to un-make plans on very short notice in order to accommodate the landlord’s decision to do pest control on a certain day, or having to jump through hoops to make sure that a friend can spend the night without getting their car towed.
Some of that would be mitigated by renting a house instead of an apartment, but the problem doesn’t seem to go away until I don’t have a landlord at all.
