"Whoever knows how to take, to defend, the thing, to him belongs property. What I have in my power, that is my own. So long as I assert myself as holder, I am the proprietor of the thing".
Tenants are trash
yeah be that guy
When courts are shut down they actually do kind of forget about crime committed during suspension if anyone is wondering, sorry my landlords no use in gathering evidence or anything.
Sorry OP, but when the shit hits the fan if you are a landlord you are "the man" and it's automatically presumed you are /in loco parentis/ for the poor, downtrodden souls you have in your care. You know, because you're so rich you should have enough money to keep that building afloat indefinitely for the good of your charges.
*cough**sputter**gag*
Walk away from the building and declare bankruptcy. Fuck 'em.
Reddit is filled with hyper liberal incel neckbeards with little real world experience. Their opinion is not representative of the whole population.
landlords are literal parasites
I never realized how much people hated landlords until I got on reddit. I have such good relations with my tenants that it feels like I am in a different universe when on reddit.
Usually when I pick up rent checks my tenants offer to have me join their bbqs or watch sports with them.

Landlords are people.
Some of them stink. (One took me to court with spurious charges; later found out he'd run out of money paying defence on multiple lawsuits for performing illegal surgery; he'd already used multiple mortgages as mitigation for giving someone a lethal dose and been struck off.)
Others are fantastic. (Got us back in the house after a fairly minor house fire in less than two weeks; provided a skip for us to empty our damaged furniture into.)
Most are pretty ordinary. Receive the rent, tussle a little over who's maintaining the hedge, get the boiler fixed a little later than you'd like...
Part of the reason landlords are disliked I think is the sense of injustice. A lot of renters will never be able to own a property, where everyone can think of a dozen examples of someone owning property because their nan left them a hefty sum, their in-laws put another hefty sum in; they got it when a house was twice your salary; etc.
Mortgage relief has of course been a huge catalyst. The assumption is that you're getting mortgage relief but I'm still paying your mortgage? Or just that you must be rich because I would have to be rich to buy this house, so go easy on the little guy, hey?
