Berkeley Property Owners Association: Why We're "Housing Providers"

We politely decline the label "landlord" with its pejorative connotations.

Cf. job creators

Our society is entirely different today, and the continued use of the legal term "landlord" is slander against our members and all rental owners. Tenants have important civil protections against unfair practices, monopoly pricing, poor maintenance, etc.

*Laughs in rat infested rental home with a property management company in another state and 72h speedy eviction laws.*
