You can make the exact symmetrical argument if tenants are not allowed to pick landlords (which is what happen in practice). Well, except about rent increase that happens anyways.
- kazinator 5y agoTenants cannot pick an arbitrary landlord L for a given, fixed rental unit U. They can pick a different rental unit with a different L.
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoTenants pick what they can afford. Landlords charge what the market can bear. The entirely predictable result is some very rich landlords and some very homeless people.
- kazinator 5y agoIn reality, stuff also happens such as: landlords working several jobs to cover the bills, unable to get rid of nonpaying tenants.
- gizmo686 5y agoWhat market are you in where tenents can't pick landlords? With mom and pop landlords, it can be a crapshoot. But I have rented from coorporate landlords twice. Each time, I was able to research them, and I avoided several with bad reputations. I've never had problems with the landlords I did rent from.
- ericd 5y agoSounds like there should be some symmetrical landlord screening tools.
