It takes labor to maintain properties.

Is there a version of this with proper English? It doesn’t help the plight of the labourer to speak so poorly

Not everyone wants to buy a property.

One thing I’ve learned on reddit is that you never tell people on platforms like that or even this one that you’re a landlord. You could be the best landlord, never raise a reasonable rent, keep a well and promptly maintained property, and LanDlOrDs aRe The ScUm of ThE Earth!!1! is all you hear.

Small-scale landlords also usually have full time jobs and use rent to supplement their income. Not every landlord is just rolling in cash.

In a lot of places if you own any land you are a millionaire, it's coming to the point that if you own a condo you are a millionaire.

Choosing to use a basic human right as a form of income is scummy. All landlords are scum, whether they are rich or not.

People need a place to stay and not everyone has piles of cash for a down payment. Vote for the change you want, but in this system we need rentals.

Those rentals should be a social project not a profit driven one.

As a landlord I provide homes to people who need them, and in exchange I don’t have to toil away at a job. It’s a fair trade
