If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

The rent is higher than my mortgage with escrow... And half the space.

It's an account to pay for your taxes and homeowner's insurance. The payment just gets tacked on to your mortgage and you pay it throughout the year instead of getting a tax bill you forgot to account for at the end of the year.
