To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord? (sopuli.xyz)

Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

Also, I would just like to point out that I have very rarely had a landlord do maintenance on the property I live in. One building hadn't seen a lick of maintenance in over 30 years, until I finally convinced them to replace the oven.

it would surprise you to learn that many business owners are shit at their jobs. You've never heard of mechanics ripping off people for headlight fluid? Or shoddy construction work?

This isn't a landlord problem. it's a human one.
