Landlords don't contribute to society
Of course they do. Imagine that all of the landlords decide to start removing rental properties from the market if their tenants move out. What do you think that does to housing availability over the next 10 years?
~~Tenant~~ Slave
If nobody is allowed to own more than one property, should everyone be forced buy? Where would renters get apartments from?
I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.
Every job involves having other people pay for your living costs.
My job doesn't involve making a profit off of arguably the most important thing a human needs for survival... Just saying.
