dawg it was an example 🙄
i am well aware of the flaws in my example, but am using the common factors (plants and labor) to illustrate a point.
if you’re absolutely insistent on a more watertight example, say it’s renting out land for a new christmas tree farm, whose crop takes 6-10 years to reach maturity. landlord pulls the rug out at year 5, essentially robbing the tenant of their property. (edit: someone else compared it to patio furniture, which is honestly just as good a model.)
every one of my criticisms still applies. u don’t need to do this “that’s not a great argument” schtick no one benefits from that lol
The patio furniture seems a more apt example since the tenant probably isn't expecting a return from their likely decorative garden plants. Whether it's more heinous to do to a commercial renter or residential is another interesting question though.
it’s more heinous to do it to the residential tenant, because residents lack the legal protections afforded to commercial tenants.
if it were equal we wouldn’t be having this conversation but as it stands housing is still treated as though it were a luxury commodity rather than a human necessity.
