Landlords operate on the fanatical conviction that they must increase prices at all times, with the only limit being just one cent less than the tipping point that will convince everyone to dispense with the entire practice of landlordism - very rapidly.
Any cash in hand, any savings on the part of their tenants - these are incomprehensible and utterly revolting to the leech. "What are you doing with my money?" they snarl in their sleep.
Well, yeah because if you get too far ahead and manage to save anything, there is the possibility that you may save up to start paying your own mortgage instead of theirs. They like to mitigate that risk by making sure that there is no money to be saved.
Investments have risks. This is well known. People should consider those risks before buying a property. If they can't handle those risks, it shouldn't be the tenants' responsibility to make up for it.
yeah 100% what you just said, and i know it wont happen in my lifetime but i hope in my daughters, that residential property isnt an investment, no one should be making any money just so someone else doesnt have to sleep outside

Landlords are the leading cause of homelessness and should not exist. We are at a stage in human history where we have the means to provide everyone with shelter. The UN recognizes this and has declared housing as a human right. As a society, we have an obligation to make this a reality.
Landlords are literally the only people who think their ‘investment’ shouldn’t have to deal with any kind of risk at all and that their returns should increase perpetually regardless of market conditions.
People are for some reason obsessed with the idea of owning a housing as if it is a pinnacle of profits. In reality so it is quite shitty business and so when the most greedy people become essentially the owners of the business with thin margins they start to go crazy. A normal house when rented out pays for itself in 25-30 years if paid upfront and nobody can say if it will cost more after this time.
Actually housing is almost certain to go down in price in the next fifty years but everyone is just ignoring it as if it is not an issue.

These pigs come with their wallets out to squeeze the worker everytime we get even an extra 5$ to our name.
Mao did nothing wrong.
Well, no. Mao did a lot of really bad things, but getting rid of landlords wasn't one of them.
