Single unit landlord here. There are slumlords who do the bare minimum and then there are the good ones that try to do everything they can to make the experience enjoyable. I fix things asap, I am super understandable about late rent, I am the landlord I would want if I was renting from me. I am living abroad and wanted to keep my home in case we returned. Also home purchasing is out of the question for most folks and renting offers a low up front cost to getting into a home. Let’s not paint all landlords with the same brush. Some are hardened speculators and some of us are just middle-class folks mom and pops.
