It wouldn’t be an issue at all we were paying to a normal person who’s got ex. To pay for their mortgage, for college debt etc. The issue is that we are paying evil corporations and not normal people. We are fueling gentrification and we can’t even boycott them
Why wouldn’t it be a problem paying rent to a normal person? Being a slave in Rome 2000 years ago, you were a slave regardless of whether you were owned by a small owner with just a few slaves, than one with 200.
Because you don’t live in a cartoon but In a complex and layered world where things have fucking shades blud. I’ll give you my personal experience as an example
My great grandfather from my mom’s side made my grandmother inherit a very small apartment in a neighborhood in the periphery of my city which she gave to us (earlier on we lived with my dad’s parents) . If it wasn’t for that we would either be homeless or be all living in my grandparents’ house. 9 people in a single small apartment isn’t an ideal thing.
Recently a few people nearby have moved away and put their houses on sale and thanks to that we will finally be able to move to a slightly bigger apartment which will allow me and my sister to have our own room and a decent internet connection. Are we the assholes if we rent our house in order not to force my parents to work 200 hours a week since salaries here barely reach 800€ a month? My mom earns 800€ a month, my father it depends according on how many times he will work (he’s gotten many fractures and can’t do much) and I earn 300€ a month. I just want to get educated quickly and move away from this shithole of a region
So we are heartless monsters I guess? We will rent to students for relatively cheap. I understand your frustration but what we need is strong national regulation, not banning renting houses altogether, even because it would make house prices skyrocket even more since the supply of available houses isn’t enough to satisfy everyone right now if we exclude secondo homes and rentable ones. I didn’t know it was that way in America but not all of the world works like that.
If it wasn’t for that we would either be homeless or be all living in my grandparents’ house
Or you could become tenants from a wholesome small landlord! I wonder why that wasn’t in your possibilities?

So the people renting your apartment will be the ones working 200 hours a week instead? The lifestyle of your parents depends on other people paying them rent and you still can’t understand why private rent is theft?
what we need is strong national regulation, not banning renting houses altogether
The “stronger national regulation” needed is the expropriation of rented housing to a collectively owned rent organization, and the masse-construction of affordable housing for social rent, and the rent of all of this housing stock at production+maintenance costs.
To be clear: most people would do what you’re doing in your situation. But the fact that your family is escaping overwork and poverty through renting one of their flats simply means that another poor person who can’t afford to buy a flat is subsidizing their lifestyle. It’s not that your family are intrinsically evil people, it’s that private rent is exploitative by its very nature.
No, the issue is rent seeking parasites in general. If anything the ‘mom and pop’ landlords are even fucking scummier because YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THEM KEEPING YOUR FUCKING HEAD DOWN AND DOING CUSTOMER SERVICE IN YOUR OWN FUCKING HOME YOU’RE FUCKING PAYING FOR
The level of fucking entitlement these people have to treat you literally however the fuck they want is unmatched.
Painting the hallway? Why bother saying anything? It’s my house. Oh, you got paint all over your brand new sweater? Lol. It hasn’t been 3 months yet so ‘if it doesn’t work out’ you’re out on the street same day! Haha!
What? You’re upset at the pile of cat shit that’s been in your bathroom for a whole day because I don’t give my FIVE cats litter boxes? You’re going to talk to me like that?? Pack your bags, loser! My parents were rich!
the majority of landlords aren’t corporations. 8.9 perecent of all resdential housing stock is own by corporate entities.
91.1 percent is owned by individual landlords.
the people i’ve known who rent corporately owned properties are typically well-off. all the corporate owning-housing in my area is largely over market rate and mostly rented out by rich people who can easily afford it.
That’s such a irrelevant/misleading statistic. People aren’t griping the incorporation vs soul proprietorship of landlords. More than half of those individual landlords own multiple rental properties. Thousands of them own enough rental properties (4+ in Canada) to require a property management license, that many do not possess.
Individual landlords are the ones buying up detached homes, hoarding them as extortionate rentals until selling them as land assemblies so that corporations can build overpriced breadboxes.
If you live somewhere without strong tenancy laws than corporations basically get a free pass on colluding to drive up local rental pricing. End of the day they own the apartments around universities and hospitals where demand will meet any price.
Normal people don’t have enough money to buy 15 houses in a really well off area bro. Those people are millionaires and they’re not the kind of “normal people” I am speaking about, because guess what, they’re neither “normal” or not even comparable to the average citizen
