I rent out my basement at well under market value to an older lady that was in the house when I bought it.

I understand the post was made as a generalization but some landlords aren't bad and some situations are better than the alternatives.

Would you rather I kick out my tenant and god knows where she would live or maybe she becomes homeless?

It is a job when you’ve got dozens of shitty tenants always complaining about petty little things like heat, mold, and infestations

You should tip landlords, not get rid of them!

So renters would just live in someone else's house for free?

It's a "job". But it's a shit career. Having to put up with destructive, unruly, and frankly unsanitary renters is a fucking nightmare.

You can live off of investment income. That's the way capitalist systems work. Don't hate the players, hate the game. Most of these "leech" landlords, are middle class people that have a slight step up, and instead of railing against the people at the top, you're complaining about the people who barely have it better than you. I get the argument, but it's directed at the wrong people.
