You shouldn’t judge all tenants by the actions of a few bad tenants.

This landlord is being judged without knowing their situation just the same. What if they have another building with people not paying for two plus years?

Maybe... This can be thought of for landlords as well.

There are definitely bad landlords, but the are most definitely good landlords as well. I would argue that it appears to be moving towards having more bad as the years go on, but I would also argue that on the internet you will mainly see negative comments for all subjects, including landlords. Lastly, I would argue that tenant protections and oversight over the landlords has been increasing, so that is definitely a good thing.

Reddit and social media are primarily of the younger generation, and it's definitely an echo chamber to an extent. This can bring good change, but it can also bring uneducated overreactions.

Younger generation? Check the thread where people list their ages in this subreddit. Lot of older people.

Sounds like you just want to dismiss the opinions of those younger than you.

It just sounds like you don't want to engage in the initial comment I made.

You hear about the bad landlords, you aren't hearing about the good ones. It's not that there aren't good landlords.
