That’s incorrect. Houses need maintenance. They are not self healing. Things break, items need replacing, grass needs to be cut, light bulbs need to be changed, etc. Tenants also need to be managed.
Interesting that every rental I’ve been in is in some state of disrepair, if that’s what you claim the extra is for. You’re purposely avoiding the fact that rentals are there to make the landlord money, and nothing more.
A landlord does not take housing off the market. Rental housing is still on the market for families to live in.
Rent costs more than mortgage payments because it includes the payment for services to the owner. If you work a job you expect to get paid for your work and so does the landlord.
I said they take property off the market, not housing. By buying it and holding it indefinitely, that property is no longer available for purchasing.
Yes, services. Services that an owner could very well get done himself/herself without the bureaucratic overhead of having to use the landlord as an intermediary to a contractor.
The only landlords that could get things done faster than doing it yourself are those who have contractors and supplies on call. In other words, management companies or multiple-property landlords—the same ones who are in it solely to profit from the lack of available housing in urban areas.
The property is still available for families who want to rent it. You take all the rentals off the market and those who want to rent housing will have no choices.
There’s still many properties available to purchases. Having a mixture of some properties for rent and some of sale gives people choices.
Many people don’t have the skill or resources to manage their own property, let alone pay for large expenses all at once.
They buy all the houses and put them up on a subscription service that costs more than what the person would’ve paid for it and keep increasing the prices every month.
When someone is on a lease, the rent amount cannot increase during the lease period. At the end of the lease period, the person is free to move somewhere else.
Landlords provide housing.
No they steal housing and extort its use
There’s no stealing and no extorting. The only ones who steal are tenants who don’t pay rent.
Only two kinds say that, parasites and bootlickers, which are you?
Don’t forget option three: “all of the above”
Neither.
No, you are a landlord, which is even worse.
No being a landlord is a good thing.
You say that like you’re convincing yourself of it. I would need a way to cope too, if I were stealing from my own class.
I’m not “coping” with anything. I run a successful small business and I don’t steal from anyone.
So they’re giving the housing to those in need for free, or at the very least at cost? That would be “providing” housing.
That’s not the definition in the slightest. You don’t seem to have an understanding of what a landlord does.
A land lord does fuck all.
A landlord provides housing.
FTFY
If the mortgage payment is the SAME or MORE as the rent, you aren’t providing shit.

Your experiences are not the experiences of everyone who rents.
A landlord takes property off the market and provides housing that costs more than mortgage payments.
