But the bottom line of all of this, you do not pay directly property taxes when you rent. You are not the owner of the property so you do not get that counted towards your overall tax bill. And it is state and jurisdiction run in Illinois, not from the Federal Government.

I cannot even believe this is a discussion. I referenced Naperville where I used to live and many people had 5 figure property tax bills and I can tell you I never had that when I lived there for my 2 years.
