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

Krafty Kactus@sopuli.xyz to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 174 points –

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.

It can, but not necessarily. The issue with landlords is rent-seeking, if the state funnels all of the income towards maintenance, building new housing, or even lowering housing prices without taking profit, they have removed all issues with landlords.

As a landlord, their goal is to make profit. As a state, their goal is to provide a service.
