Being a landlord is a real job, being a slumlord isn't I've been a landlord and worked for both landlords and slumlords. A landlord contributes a lot to society. They provide housing for people that can't or don't want to own a house. They take on the risk and hassle of owning the house and that's worth making money off a tenant
The slumlords I've worked for don't own rundown houses in the ghetto, they own nice looking properties that have issues like every house. They just treat their tenants like shit and ignore them then evict people for petty reasons if they bitch about it wrong. Lately I've been advising their tenants how to get a response from the manager: -bitch very angrily with nasty rude voicemails -get the city on their ass, threats of fines motivate them -threaten to get them some bad press
Sadly, these are the things that get a wealthy slumlord to do his job. Last week a tenant said he shouldn't have to be an asshole to get his landlord to do his job. I told him that just because sometimes you have to be an asshole, doesn't mean you ARE an asshole

You’re just exposing how powerless you feel right now. It’s OK. It’s not your fault.
You are receiving therapy by reading this.
These kind of posts are so fucking stupid. You think you're calling people on bullshit and putting them in their place but really just exposing how sad and pathetic your life is
Oh wait, that might actually be a popular opinion

Home builders provide said housing, not landlords. Home builders produce something of value, landlords extract that value and more via rents, the toll that society pays to unproductive people by virtue of their mere ownership.

Someone has to buy those houses being built and not everyone that needs a place to live can or desires to own a home, therefore the landlord fills a role abd deserves compensated for that. What's so hard to understand about that?

What do you suggest as an alternative?
Imagine youre a landlord who owns a house that needs maintenance and taxes to be paid for it to be habitable. Do you just let someone live there for free? Do you charge them the price for you to just break even on those costs? That doesnt work because now youre holding liability and risk and need to feed and house yourself too. Thats what a land lord is

Unpopular opinion Companies like Blackstone are designed to ensure that wage inequality remains for as long as possible.
Nobody should be allowed to own more than three properties.
Landlords have actively participated in making environments as terrible as possible, just to force tenants to move.
There are not enough legal responsibilities for landlords to not be pieces of shit. There needs to be more checks , and balances. Because they make enough money, government is just letting them abuse people.
If we don’t stop letting these wealthy people dictate how all the working class needs to pay them rent for eternity instead of letting us own. Things are going to get so much worse economically.

Im just really wondering what sensical alternative youd rather see. Subsidized dormotories? Or how communal camps. No houses no land lords just government provided dorms and camps for the entire population. Fuck all their families and specific needs and preferences. Land lords are unethucal so now everyone lives in a dorm room style communal housing. Sounds amazing

Stop trying to justify yourself by using exaggerations.
We need affordable housing. We need people to be able to step away from renting and be able to own. We need landlords to seriously fuck the fuck off. So people can actually start to thrive instead of just survive. It’s not like these people wouldn’t still own tons of property. The fact that they still think they get to just torture people and force them to leave when they feel like it because they wanna make things more expensive and harder for people to live. Is quite frankly disgusting

Eh. I think there just needs to be rent caps. Setting aside a bit extra is fine. water heaters go out, yada yada, but if providing housing is your only source of income youre a parasite.

They’re also needs to be drug price caps based off of production cost. People should not need to pay 500% the cost of production for insulin.
Utterly revolting
