Landlords aren't bad because they treat their tenants poorly, they're bad because they make a living by monetizing a basic human necessity. It's like saying there are no good billionaires, or all cops are bastards. Of course there are landlords who treat their tenants well, billionaires who donate a lot of money, cops who actually want to serve and protect, but saying they're all bad is really saying they are perpetuating a broken system. Landlords are bad because you shouldn't have to pay a monthly bill to have somewhere to sleep. Billionaires are bad because you can't make that much money without exploiting the working class. Cops are bad because their complicit in abusing power.
There's a reason "rent seeing behaviour" is a derogatory term.
