Hello, I am looking for appartments on the [Finn.no](https://Finn.no) website and I got introduced to this notion of common debt. I am from France and I was wondering if it was better for me to choose to rent a flat or if I would save money in the long term by choosing to directly buy one. In France if you own an appartement or house you mainly have to pay a tax called “taxe foncière” (and another tax if you live in it). But maybe I didn’t tick the right boxes on the [Finn.no](https://Finn.no) website but almost everytime I see an appartment I have a line saying **Pris på lån:** XXX/mnd. Even when I tick the box “Eier”… So I thought it was the common debt.
But how to buy something directly and then not having to pay every month because it would completely negates the benefit of owning something if I have to pay every month. I wanted to buy and not rent to not have something to pay every month that’s the point… And also where can I see the total sum needed to complete the payment of the common debt if I am obliged to pay it when buying ?
