Threads like this really stress me out. I live in the US, and I’ve always wanted to rent long-term. I’ve obviously also always wanted a less broken system. If renting was the cheaper option and there were more legal protections for tenants, I think being an independent landlord of a very small number of properties can be well-done. We need to fix a lot before this ever becomes viable, and the stranglehold corps are gaining on the housing market is a fucking crime against humanity. Those fucks are parasites.

I think the real problem isn’t landlording, exactly, but the capitalists we’ve propped up along the way :3
