Re: rip offs

You mentioned everything but the most important thing - the terms of a lease (if you have one). With respect to the rent, you presumably agreed to pay it. The owner's mortgage payment has zero relevance to what you agree to pay in rent. If it is a "rip off" you should not have rented the property.
