>they did create value by offering you a safe place to live
Levels of bullshit never before seen by the eyes of man. The landlord does NOT provide you with a place to live the place already exists. They neither built it nor furnished it nor did anything of worth to it, they just bought the place and rent the right to use it for a monthly price. There would be 0 difference between any landlord owning it or the government owning it instead because neither provides any actual service to the renter they just give you the legal permission to enter and habitate the apartment, no more.
In my country of Egypt for example you can stipulate in the contract that if anything whatsoever goes wrong with the apartment you're renting to someone, you will not be responsible for any damages or repairs and that all responsibility falls on the renter, so effectively you have 0 workload or responsibility to your renter other than signing your name and collecting money from them. You provide 0 service. How low of an IQ do you think the people you're arguing with have?
