Clearly you have never interacted with most land lords
- mapontosevenths 8mo agoBack when I was a renter mine just created slums and maintained misery, but maybe he was special.
- triceratops 8mo agoI've had slumlord landlords, landlords who maintained and kept up the property and focused on retaining tenants over increasing rents, and corporate landlords with prices set by a computer. Landlords are a spectrum.
- jazzyjackson 8mo agoI guess not most, all of mine were fine, mostly individuals with one or two investment properties who were friendly neighbors I happened to pay rent to. Point is, in choosing to be a landlord and buying property, an ideal world would respond to this demand pressure by building housing, didn't mean to suggest the landlords themselves put on their hard hats and frame a new building. Just that they're also part of the marketplace.
