My landlord is an accidental landlord and the setup is the best I could hope for. As I understand it he met his wife later in life when they both had their own houses. I've been here over four years and I've met him twice. I'm paying far below the market rate. Granted, the house is very tired and it's very expensive in terms of energy use, but it still works out far cheaper than the places I see on property websites now. I absolutely agree with you that landlords as a social class are scumbags. I guess it's the same thing as when people say "all cops are bastards" etc.. Of course not /every single/ cop or landlord is a bastard, but when acting as a group their aims and priorities are in direct contention with everyone else.
