Landlords provide a service by maintaining properties
Farmers provide a service by growing your food
I'm not in here to argue but I'm very curious, Synopsis what do you do for a living?
Yall always ask irrelevant questions

Can I not ask that? I'm just curious for context in general. I'm not tryna argue today
But if they have the money to pay for it what’s the problem?
Because they shouldn't be paying to live somewhere? Landlord is still just leeching off of anothers labor

You could say feudal lords did the same thing
Tenants could easily maintain their own property
The only thing egregious is people who own multiple properties that are uninhabited. You should be taxed heavy if you don’t at least rent them out.

Ok let’s try this. Let’s say I buy a house and I’m charging someone to use it as a shelter. That person pays the rent with no problem every month, but suddenly due to unfortunate circumstances they can’t continue to pay anymore and has nowhere else to go. So I decide to allow that person to stay there rent free instead of evicting them. Then I will be a good landlord, don’t you think?

Was more curious about it as background as to why his opinions are so far from my own, not specifically related to this thread specifically

oh i see

You missed the point being why not say it’s evil to charge for food? Or water?
Both are more essential.

No because if they never had to pay in the first place maybe that unfortunate circumstance is avoided
Besides if we argue in favor of landlords because there might be some good ones then that still leaves tenants at the landlords mercy.hoping they got a "good" one

I agree ppl shouldn't be charged for either
But farmers are being directly compensated for their labor at least
Landlords aren't doing any labor
Landlords provide a service by maintaining properties

I'm not gonna jump into this argument, but landlords do less than the bare minimum when it comes to maintaining properties lol

Being a landlord is a mix of labor and an investment. Sometimes they are more hands-on and keep up the property, other times not.
Are you also against capital investments?

No. That unfortunate circumstance is that they lost their job, and me as a good person decides to stop charging them for rent. Now they have a house, whereas before they didn’t have one.

Youd no longer be a landlord then

Some are definitely slum lords but there are some who are solid.
There aren’t many things worse than a scummy landlord
