Property investment is ingrained in the Australian psyche, but is it too easy to cast landlords as the villain in our housing crisis?

I don't know all the ins and outs of her financial situation. But I do know it's been a point of contention. And she is not the first property owner I have talked to who has been pinged for not charging enough rent as far as a bank was concerned.

Oh i'm not doubting the situation, banks are predatory af. A higher rent is higher value is more power on their books.

They can still go get fucked.
