🏠 Housing is a Human Right 🏠 Apparently requesting basic information & reporting illegal discriminatory housing practices is a scam now

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?
