You will find long term rentals usually for a year or two. You will find homes in the same series (villa, designer, cyv) will rent long term for about the same rate, and rent very quickly. Rent will usually increase at end of contract, but if the renter is exceptional and want to continue it is worth not raising the rent for a few renewals. Most rent their home long term until ready to retire. So I could be wrong but I can't imagine any rental could be a forever home, life changes for you and the owner. It runs about $10,000 and up to run a house here, with taxes, amenities fees, water, electric, cable, trash, lawn and pest.
