I know this will be downvoted to hell, but this whole let's rally against landlords is kind of stupid in my opinion.
You can say the exact same thing about a bank that gives you a lone, they do zero work and get money.
Or a company that leases or rents out cars.
For a landlord you can make the argument that a home is a primary life necessity. But when you borrow money from a bank it's pretty much the same thing.
Some people don't want to stay in a place too long and like the option to rent. Also it's not like a landlord hard zero risks, you can get tenants that are horrible and trash a place.
Just to be clear I'm not a landlord myself, but also not someone that just hates them because it's a thing now.
Brother, what Lemmy instance do you think this community is on? You aren't going to get a good discussion with this topic here.
