Landlords provide a necessary service to the poorest in society. If there were no landlords, people who could not afford to purchase homes would have nowhere to live.
Landlords suffer from bad tenants, and also from bad government policies like rent control and the cancelling of rent during Covid (and nobody cancelled the mortgage bills for landlords, or the property tax). They are constantly portrayed as villains, often by the same people who benefit from the housing landlords provide.
What you call hoarding is the market at work, providing investment opportunities to landlords and housing to people who can’t afford to buy, all at the same time.
- junofan 4y agoHousing is a service? Generally real estate businesses aren’t thought of that way.
- azeemh 4y agoLandlords dont provide any services. Construction workers build the house. if there were no landlords people would still have 1 home and builders would get hired by the homeowner who could finally afford homeownership. We have more empty homes in America than homeless people. The market is not working because its failing to respond to the demand of more than 90% of the population for affordable housing despite us having more supply of housing than homeless people in need.
