How old is your house?

My house is 12 years old now. Looks like we need renovation. The wall need to be painted. There's also a hole up the roof, so whenever rain comes down, the water leaks.
But I have to hold over this plan because the renovation needs a big cost.
What about yours? Does your house need renovation too?

Pretty and I have been renting this house for five years now. (The house was originally built in the 1940s.) The house was renovated roughly ten years ago and got new carpet just before we moved in.

@ifa225 This house feels small to us. We rented a house twice as big as this one for over 22 years before moving to this house. We looked for one the same size as our last house but this was the only house we could find for rent.
The owner of the house has to pay for any problems this house has as well as renovations when needed.

@DaddyEvil why did you move?
The same system with a rent house in my place, but some owner will fine the one who rent if there is a big damage like graffiti in the wall
I want to sell my house and buy a new one, but my husband disagree with me

The house where my parents and I lived was built in 2001. Our house was built with bricks, cement mortar and steel bars. Now it is very good. The roof has been waterproofed twice, and the room is still the original decoration.

@ifa225 Well, at the time, there were not many houses available, and this one was one of the few that was in our price range. It is a bit small, but at least we own it. The housing market is crazy now - the prices are way too high - we do not dare move.

The only house that I´ve ever had was around 10 years old when I sold it. I was in construction; as a matter of fact, I never saw it finished, Until the day I sold it, it always needed some work on it. It was a brick house with a minimal architectural style
It was located on a hill and took all those years of construction because every piece of material had to be carried by hand. There was no way for heavy cars to deliver construction materials.
It was designed to never need renovation but luckily I found a buyer for it

@ifa225 It was a nice location. There were high winds during this season that reached 75 or more km an hour. There was a majestic view of a famous volcano-Popocatepetl and a starry night view of the constellations and the polar star. I used to stay late at night watching the stars and constellations, I had the chance to observe the Lyrids meteor shower and a UFO too
