Yeah, and there will always be a demand for temporary housing. Even if every person has property, tourists need places to stay, you'd need a place to stay if your house is leveled by a natural disaster, it doesn't make sense to jump through all the hoops of property ownership if you just want to be closer to mom's nursing home in her final months, etc.

The problem isn't filling that need, it's making a profit off it.

All landlords are bastards

We could still have great property managers without landlords. Then you wouldn't even need to be thankful that your lord happens to be one of the benevolent ones.

Blaming the landlord is more of a meme. Don't take it seriously
