supposedly, the only acceptable answer on Lemmy is "give your house away for free". Not even joking a little.

Everyone should be able to own their own house for free, and renting shouldn't exist. Apparently.

This is not a site/network for nuance or discussion. It's a place for autists to scream communism and linux at each other. 🤷‍♂️ Or something like that.

As for pointers - you're probably fine as long as the roof isn't leaking.

There are a lot more to it than just a roof without leaks. Add to that a decent isolation, water and electrical installations that are conform to an ever evolving norm, basic equipments (and some facultative ones) in working order.
Honestly when I hear some horror stories about some of the worst rental houses, I'm as angry as anyone here. But I find unfortunate that some of my fellow leftist prefer to caricature instead of trying to understand that not every landlord is a money hungry bastard 😅.
My house was my grandma house, I just happened to be the next one in charge of keeping it in a decent state.

re:roof

"in charge of keeping it in a decent state"

that is exactly, literally what I meant, with less joking. And there's the autism in Lemmy coming through again.
