To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord?

Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

How many landlords actually do it as a job? And how many just collect the checks and hire bottom of the barrel contractors for anything that involves work? In my experience it's been the latter.

I think most of the older landlords were like this but their renters are very reluctant to move. The landlords that suck have high turn overs - and recently there's been a wave of idiots buying apartments to park their money and get "free" income - so the environment is actively getting worse.

I have never had a single landlord where this isn't the case, except in instances where they are too cheap to even hire professionals to do things that they don't have the skill to do, and they get their dipshit son to "fix" the sink that fell clean out of the kitchen counter with a lumpy bead of clear silicone and a 1' piece of 2x4 wedged underneath.
