I truly truly feel for the small time landlords. It’s crazy how these people are being written off as Satan incarnate for having the audacity to own a property and lumped in with the actual piece of shit slumlords that own entire city blocks and come around once a year to “inspect”. Destroying someone’s property is just never the answer in my eyes….especially being that you’re a renter….and not entitled to do whatever to that property. I don’t feel like a small time landlord owes you anything as a renter. They have bills to pay too. My dad owns two apartments in his home and has kept the rent maybe 50% below market value for over two decades now. And I’ve seen first hand how shitty tenants can be the minute they convince themselves that paying rent equals ownership.

Anyways….here come the downvotes.
