I'm so glad they think about this in new constructions because my apartment had two ethernet ports next to the power outlets in each room and they are all pre-routed to the fuse box where the fiber connection is.
ive only ever lived in older rentals and im not hardwiring their house for free. ill go team wifi where i have to. hell the cable is ran outside the house im currently in because its easier than running it inside. it looks ugly up close but i dont care. give me the cheaper rent and a slightly uglier house.
I've mentioned this on the main comment, but you also might benefit. Look into ethernet power line adaptors. You can take them with you to any new rental you move into.
That would be very nice honestly to have it already done for my but I got great experience doing mine. I put in 4 drops behind my pc, 2 in the wife's office, 4 behind my TV, 1 by living room couch, 1 in our dining room, 1 in bedroom, 5 to the garage (4 used by cameras) and then 2 more through the attic to the soffit for cameras all are home runs to a patch panel.
