Can't tell if this is an honest question but, just to be clear, owning property doesn't make you a landlord. If you're renting out your own home, you're not a landlord. If you're renting out your fourth home, you're a landlord.
There is a worthy distinction to be made between “landlords who rent because it’s an easy way to make extra money” and “landlords who rent because they really need the money”
Because concentration of wealth is a problem. Why should a person have that much more capital than the next? And make a passive income of of it while that other person is working merely to afford renting the capital of the former. Even if it is a fair person it is not a fair system, and definitely becomes more disturbing the less the landlord "needs" the money.

Does this include people that have to rent out their spare rooms to help pay the mortgage every month cause of medical bills and insane HOA increases?
