But to besides all d ole talk, it have PLENTY young people that, for want of their own way and playing adult, jump outta themselves and leave their parents home to go pay rent, or even more common their parents fed up of them sitting home scratching, smoking weed all day, forever on a block, with zero movement towards anything constructive. Then they move out/get put out, they bawling when they realize renting ain't as nice as what they see on tv. Some humble themselves and move back home, but many burn that bridge on the way out.
I does tell ppl, if yuh renting and you can pay yuh rent, do so and be glad you can. Because they extremely lucky they renting in Trinidad where ppl still somewhat relaxed. In some countries, if the landlord find out today you lost your job today, you getting a eviction notice tonight on the door.

Debe HDC 'landlord': I did not evict them
The inside of the HDC Wellington Gardens, Debe house. - Marvin Hamilton
The man at the centre of a controversy over the subletting of a house in Debe has denied that he evicted a family because they could not pay their rent as a result of the stay-at-home measures to reduce the spread of the covid19 virus.
The three-bedroom house at Wellington Gardens is subject to a rent-to-own agreement with the Housing Development Corporation (HDC). The HDC does not allow tenants to sublet homes.
The official tenant said on Wednesday: "I never told them to leave. No one pressured them.
"Because of the pandemic, I understand their situation.
"We were shocked when we saw the article. We tried to help them to get a place to stay, and now they are making all types of allegations."
The woman, a 25-year-old mother, took to social media to complain against the landlord and her posts went viral. She said she was looking for a place to live, and called on the public for help. Newsday later highlighted her plight.
The man, who asked to remain anonymous, also denied threatening the woman who is part of the family of five.
But he now wants the family out of his house. He lives nearby in a property owned by his wife, he said.
Speaking at his home, he told Newsday: "Police came here last night (Tuesday) about it.
"I never made any threats. I have nothing against these people. I have never quarrelled or cursed them. We always had a good relationship. So I cannot say what brought this on."
Asked if he had been renting the property for the past four years, as the woman claimed, he responded, "It was for about two and a half years.
"Right now, I am stressed and just want this to go away.
"No one from HDC has contacted me."
Speaking at the house, the woman, who also requested anonymity said she is a domestic worker, but has not been working since the stay-at-home measures were implemented.
She said she lives with her husband, a salesman, and their three children, eight, seven and three.
Before the pandemic, she and her husband were planning to open a food outlet, and she said a supermarket owner gave them a chiller. Because the family has fallen on hard times, she said she sold it to get money for food.
"I am not working, and neither is my husband right now...I needed the money; I cannot let my children go hungry. People gave us food hampers. I do not have much in the house."
In the past, she said, she herself used to give to people in need.
"A lot of people know me because I do a lot of charity work. I host a Christmas treat, I donate items to flood victims and other things.
"I never expected that I would have been in this situation."
She said she was never late on rent payments and had not missed one until this month, because of the pandemic.
On Monday she reported to Barrackpore police that the landlord had threatened her.
She said, "He told me if he gets into trouble with the HDC, he will find me and deal with me. He said if he loses the house, it will be trouble. That is a threat."
HDC officials, she said, visited and interviewed her.
"They are handling everything. They also told me to stay in the house, and they are investigating...
"I do not know how this situation will play out and I am hoping we get a house."
For her safety and that of the family, she said, the children have been staying elsewhere with relatives.
Housing Minister Edmund Dillon could not be reached for comment.

Debe 'landlord': I lost my house while trying to help people
Hoping to share his side of the story, the licensee of a Housing Development Corporation (HDC) house in Wellington Gardens, Debe, has visited the corporation's Port of Spain office to meet with officials.
However, he did not get to speak to anyone.
Speaking to Newsday in Debe, he said an HDC security officer told him on Friday that the office was closed because of the covid19 pandemic.
The "landlord," who asked to remain anonymous, has been accused of subletting the house to a family. He lives in a nearby property owned by his common-law wife.
On Thursday, an HDC representative served him with an eviction notice.
He said, "No one came and took a statement from me.
"I lost my house while trying to help people.
"The man handed me the letter yesterday (Thursday) and left."
He said he tried to speak with the HDC representative, who responded, "Take it to the higher authorities."
The man repeated, "No one from HDC has spoken to me for my side of the story. I have never missed a payment to the HDC."
On Thursday the HDC issued a statement saying it had decided to issue the notice after an investigation, which found both parties culpable.
The HDC has given the tenants –a couple and their three children – permission to stay at least for two months, after which it will do an assessment.
The release said the HDC has a "zero-tolerance position" on subletting, and that all HDC agreements "provide for the termination of the tenancy, if the tenant breaches these terms."
The 25-year-old mother of the family of tenants took to social media last weekend to complain about the landlord, and her posts went viral. She also accused him of threatening the family.
She said the landlord was evicting them because they could not afford to pay rent this month as a result of the pandemic.
Newsday later highlighted their plight.
She is a domestic worker, but has not been working since the stay-at-home measures were implemented, and her husband is a salesman.
On Friday, she declined to comment when Newsday visited the house.
