The best landlord I ever had did treat it like a job. Too many feel they don't have to do anything. This guy charged a very reasonable rent, had a big portfolio of properties and employed a bookeeper/secretary an electrician and a builder. He paid himself a wage and kept his margins fair. 1/2

I'm against all landlords, even the "good" ones. The inherent problem with landlording isn't the personalities of the landlords. It's the act of landlording itself.

@Radical_EgoCom @DrArtAnalytics

the assets in our lives should be assets because we use them, not because they make us money through rent, interest or profit

@steviesyerda @Radical_EgoCom @DrArtAnalytics
Exactly, everyone *needs* a house to live in, it has a clear 'use value'.
What capitalism does is turn it into a product of 'exchange value' and an assets that increases in value due to scarcity.
But we don't *need* landlords. My landlord didn't built the flat I live in, they don't even pay for the maintainance (my rent does). Were they to dissapear in a puff of smoke, the only difference to my life it would make, is it make it substantially better.
