High enough that he might have to get a real job and not siphon your income to pay his mortgage.

I thought housing yourself was the point of owning property?

Multi family properties are a great way for those who cannot afford a 1 family home to be able to own a home. Again, owning a property and trying to make money from that property is a source of income. Nothing wrong with that.

Only if you think housing is a privilege instead of a human right but I’m sure you’re this defensive because you feel good about it :)

This argument has always struck me as wild. My landlord provides me a service; I get housing and don’t have to do or pay for any maintenance. This also means I don’t have the bulk of my savings tied up in a house.

There are unethical landlords and sleazy real estate developers, like there are bad actors in any field, but to suggest that it’s inherently unethical is preposterous. Is it unethical to make a living by selling food because food is also a basic need and a human right?
