What's the most stress-free living situation for someone with Aspergers?
*Living with parents
*Renting so all problems go to the landlord
*Other options?
It really depends on the people involved.
Living with parents can be very stressful or stress-free depending on how well you get along with your parents. Living with loving, supportive parents who respect and care about you is very low stress, living with abusive parents is very high stress, etc.
Renting from a good landlord can be low stress. Renting from a landlord who sets a lot of weird arbitrary restrictions or doesn't deal with serious problems promptly and effectively is very stressful. Also, if you're struggling financially, especially if your financial situation fluctuates unexpectedly, renting can be extremely stressful because of worries about paying the rent.
Homeownership can be low stress because once you have the home, you're much less likely to lose it if you run into financial difficulties. Also gives you a lot more personal control over your living situation, because you don't need to get permission from a landlord - as long as you follow your local bylaws, you can basically do whatever you want with your home. But on the con side, you don't have help dealing with problems that arise.
Owning a home with a homeowner's association is basically most of the cons of renting and the cons of homeownership, minus a lot of the benefits of either option. I don't recommend it for anyone, ever.
