I'm also in a Hanlun Habitats property, and I've been there since July last year...

I think it depends on what sort of person you are. I'm not particularly houseproud, in that as long as I can make the space feel my own, it doesn't particularly bother me that it's temporary and not really my place. To be honest, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to housework, so having it all laid out for me is quite nice The thing which particularly put me off renting was that it seems that most places are at least partly unfurnished, and I didn't want either the effort or the upfront cost of buying my own furniture.

The one thing which does make it feel more temporary than home is the lack of a key. I don't know if all the HH properties do it like this, but I have a keycard rather than a key, which gives it a bit too much of a hotel feel.
