Every landlord I've had has been "nice" and "friendly." Unless you need something or they're not happy with something you did.

Because they don't see you as a person ... they see you as either a benefit or detriment to their wealth. You are an extension of their wealth and their only interest is in watching to see if that wealth increases or decreases.

I think my landlord sees us as people, he's just fundamentally incapable of understanding what it means to live in a lower income bracket. He's selling the house we live in and seemed genuinely confused why we, as a single earner household paying significantly below market rent, would be worried because "there's only a few situations where they can kick you out". Yes and if they invoke one, which they will because we're a bad investment, we're SCREWED.

Meanwhile he thinks he's being generous by listing for below appraisal when it's still at least double what he paid a couple years ago. Just living on a totally different planet.

All of this is starting to remind of Charles Dickens from 150 years ago.

He probably thought we'd be way past his generation by now .... we are in many ways but in some ways we are no different than our ancestors 10,000 years ago ... this may be the 21st century but human greed and the ignorance of man never changes
