That's fine, someone's getting the money, but the total cost of living there still ends up much lower than the total cost of living in an owned condo.

If that is so, it means that whoever owns it is subsidizing you to live there. That owner lives somewhere else (paying a cost of living there), and also pays to make up the difference between your cost of living in the rental unit and the true cost. If so, that's a temporary situation. The rent will creep up to eventually close the gap.
