What's wrong with hating landlords?
No calls for violence seems like a simple rule. And not every landlord is greedy mcshitstain with 50 properties, many of them are a single family with their starter home rented out, or a couple renting out their extra room.
Communists don't care for that distinction, they believe all landlords (even non-exploitative ones like you mentioned) are inherrently exploitative and therefore deserving of death. Yes, this applies to you even if you just rent out a room, but don't worry, money won't exist and everything will be free!
Correction, terminally-online twitter communists don't care for the distinction. People who actually go outside and put in the work aren't making enemies out of individuals renting out a room, they're too busy going after giant multi-national corporations buying out all the houses so that nobody else can get them, and then jacking up the rents once there's no alternatives.
Communism is about systems, not individuals. Anyone saying otherwise is either disinformed or is a radical liberal playing make-believe
Calling for execution of anyone seems a bit extreme to me.
Gotta start somewhere.
Probably not by whipping out the guillotine. There's a few reasonable steps before that.
This is why our rights are constantly being eroded.
