To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord? (sopuli.xyz)

Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

There's plenty of people renting out properties on airbnb all year round. And yes, they're landlords. These are perfectly good houses someone could live in, but instead they're used for tourism and money, and not even the kind of tourism money where the hotel owner is actually responsible for cleaning and the full cost of the property. A proper hotel is better for society than a hundred full time airbnbs.
