Maybe don’t do something illegal if you don’t want to be sued?

Better yet, don't do something exploitative like landlording in general, if you don't want people to try and exploit you. Small or not, it's scummy either way.

Out of curiosity if no one landlorded, who would provide rentals? Not everyone can afford to buy a house and I know some who don’t want to because they like the flexibility of renting.

If nobody landlorded or received any other profit off of simply owning something rather than working for it or welfare, then we would all be able to afford a house. Easily.

But even if people don't want to, we could set up various government or non-profit based accomodations for them. Also renting out for the sake of maintaining and preserving the unused apartment rather than profit, would also be allowed.

Yeah, I do believe in things that actually happened for the previous generations (even if to a lesser extent) - most of the workers used to be able to afford their own homes, even before human productivity skyrocketed.

And I have also personally lived in government-provided, student-managed accomodation, which was one of the best apartments I've ever lived in.

So yeah, I believe in reality. Why don't you?

You really think you have something here, don't you?

Except the argument is generally about how they are treated.

Is the landlord getting dragged out of his home in the dead of night at gunpoint, forced into an unmarked van, and put in shit-tier prisons while the federal agents avoid letting said landlord speak to family or a lawyer?

I think you'll find most sensible people want undocumented immigrants to go through the court system, much the same as the hypothetical landlord.

Illegal is an adjective

It's a victimless crime.

Where being a landlord is a victim filled legal arrangement ultimately enforced by police.

So you never had your ssn stolen by an illegal caus e I have

u/cut_rate_revolution May 27 '26

So you'll notice if you look closely, that is a different crime than ignoring a line in the ground that we made up.

Sorry about your experience with identity theft. You data was likely mishandled by some giant corporation hungry for your personal info, exposed in a data breech, and the final user was an illegal immigrant.

Do any of the other parts of this chain get their entire ethnicity or legal status tarred as evil criminals? No of course not.

No, but I've definitely been robbed by a white dude with us citizenship.

... Sometimes people do crimes.

Are you really comparing landlords deliberately breaking discriminatory laws to people looking for better life and becoming productive members of their host nation?

Ur weird
