Has his own place can be renting
That's not your own place. You could get kicked out at any time with just a month or 2 of notice. I've been renting apartments since I left the uni dorm, never considered an apartment to be my own place, even though I usually lived alone.
Literally everybody in the civilized world considers "having their own place" just living away from their parents and sometimes also not having room mates.
Renting an apartment is clearly having your own place, why does the greentexter care if you're renting or paying a mortgage?
Well they said own.
'has his own place' doesn't mean he legally owns the property, it means he lives by himself.
Yes but they used it as an adjective, not a verb.
I'm 99% sure that isn't what the OOP means, though. They mean you don't live with your parents (or maybe without any housemates).
Maybe. That's like the default past the age of 20 though.
Who bullied you?
What a creative and meaningful way to dismiss someone's arguments.
The words "your own place" imply ownership. Mostly everyone rents when they leave their parents place. To have your own place, you need to actually buy one, otherwise you're still living in someone else's place
With your dumbass logic hardly anyone has their own place, when you have a mortgage the bank owns your house.
