Rent-to-own housing designed to help low-income residents buy homes, rarely works out that way
Herman Watson and Rhonda King live on the same Columbus street, in houses with nearly identical layouts in the Northaven Woods neighborhood. Both moved there as soon as the houses were built in 2017.
Watson bought his house after renting it for about a year. King hasn’t bought hers, and she said she doesn’t know if she ever will.
