If you rent from an apartment complex (corporate owned), how big is the risk of being kicked out if you pay your rent?

They tend to just keep increasing it until you leave then just dial it back a little and get someone else in. Far worse than individual landlord that if you're a good easy tenant is gonna prefer you to an unknown, corporate don't care about that.

the property can always be sold to a new owner that has a different use in mind.

Another drawback, you're likely to have less negotiating power with a corporate-owned rental.

If you stay long enough, you might be forced to move to another unit for a renovation.
