Why are landlords so unfairly vilified in television and film? Is there a single positive depiction of the profession out there?

because most landlords are nepo babies who leach money off others without doing work themselves

>>214283517
Maybe he means they aren't vilified enough

I bought a couple multi family houses back in 2021 when mortgage rates were so low and and it’s crazy how much rent has gone up in only 4 years. I’ve basically been able to retire now thanks to rentcucks, I only work 1 and occasionally 2 days a week now.

>>214283814

I'm sick and tired of people here whining that others have what they do not and acting like it's not fair somehow. What kind of "work" are the landlords supposed to be doing to earn respect? Don't they fix shit if you need?

Landlords are rarely involved. Most of the time it's a 19 year old "agent" that will show up unannounced and enter your rental with their own key, go through all your shit, and try to blame pre-existing problems on you. They work for a real estate business that exists to do the landlords work for them, because these landlords own 50+ houses, or are retired boomers that refuse to do any work, and think all renters are scum. Just try getting something simple like a broken window latch fixed and you'll get booted.
Rentals cost more than a mortgage does. But good luck scraping enough savings together to get a home loan, especially when 50% of your income goes to rent.
Rich get richer while the rest of us get fucked in endless cycles of bullshit.

>>214285280
i provide the value i can inflate it to whatever people are willing to pay
welcome to the free market

Blaming landlords is your typical commie bullshit where they ruin things then point to some small regular guy to scapegoat.
Like when they said inflation from running the money printer and shutting down the economy was the fault of greedy businesses.
Or kulaks hording grain lead to starvation not their collective farming BS. Or whatever. It's just a way to get one peasant to help them take down the slightly better off peasant, and then they kill you when you're done.

Houses are for living not speculation

There should be an upper limit to how many properties an individual can buy

And it should definitely be illegal for corporations to buy residential homes

>>214283472 (OP)
I used to be a degenerate who studied squatters rights- the modern media would like you to believe squatters are simply niggers that move into an occupied houses and refuse to leave.
That’s not the history of squatting- for instance, remember when the Bronx was a hellhole of buildings burned out by jewish lightning? People used to take over those giant abandoned buildings and fix them up through community effort.
The key is- find a fading abandoned building (NO OCCUPANTS!) and fix it up. Start paying for upkeep and electricity. I traduce yourself to your neighbors. These will give you legal standing if whatever kike bank tries to evict you. They let it decay, you are revitalizing it.
These tactics have been successful for decades if done right.

ALL forms of property should be rent to own. if someone is utilizing your property (land AND object) for long enough to have eventually bought the property, or after a long enough time period whatever works, it is now their property.
The consolidation of wealth is why we're dying from the inside out.
Most people aren't greedy the way the people at the top are so just cap those few down a bit and give the rest out to people so they can live a fulfilling life.

Squatters rights depends on the state. In Massachusetts you have to continuously occupy the property for twenty years to establish ownership.

>>214284612
>>214283472 (OP)
You will own nothing.

>>214285602
That'd be fine if we had laws that protected us, and allowed us to modify the properties.
In straya you can't paint walls or even do gardening. Some places won't even let you furnish the house.

>>214285602
I say you can own property, but you have to spend 2 weeks a year there for it to stay yours. so someone can have like 3 pieces of property that they personally have to deal with, but cant have like 10 without it being a massive hassle.

they are actually for both. the world wouldnt have nearly as much capital for food and shit if assets where so fucking tied down in static homes. the industrial revolution happened in large part because you were able to speculate on houses after one of the great fires in the late 1600's. massively freeing up the liquidity of funds.

>>214283472 (OP)
Landleeches don't sell, they rent.
They don't provide a service. They withhold it so they can leech off you forever.
They even buy up all the properties that are actually for sale so you can never own anything.
And influence politics to prevent new housing from being constructed which would devalue their investment.

I became a landlord recently, as I was sharing with an old friend but I was able to put a deposit together before him, so I'm renting a room to him for cheaper than anywhere else in this city.

I still don't really think property should be an investment vehicle, but people gotta live somewhere until they can buy. Not really sure what the solution is, other than just building more houses as they are WAY too fucking expensive now.

I agree with almost every point in the NSDAP 25 point program but the abolition of landlords seems a bit excessive, however they later said it only applied to jewish/foreign landlords.

You’ve never seen an abandoned building? We’re not talking occupied residential properties.
Some are still in working order despite having 4 foot grass and a few boarded windows. Or an abandoned mansion like in fight club, apparently owned and overseen by no one. Just move in and start paying the bills. You think the electricity companies gonna turn away your money? Nah. And that starts a paper trail towards you occupying that property. If it’s some absentee landlord they probably won’t even notice for years.

>>214286241

>>214286258
>Not really sure what the solution is,
-Abolish most zoning laws and regulations like Japan does(their housing costs are tiny).
-Abolish central banking and fractional reserve banking so money can't be printed out of thin air to bid up housing costs to make a bubble

Most buildings landlords own were built using their own capital, thus increasing the housing stock and putting downward pressure on prices.

> we would run out of homes if landlords and speculators couldn't buy existing property

>>214286475
There are infinite examples of landlords buying existing property and there is zero reason government can't finance construction of new property, particularly since it is clearly a good investment and would pay itself back quickly.

>>214286512
>couldn't buy existing property
Most properties landlords own were built with their own capital.
Also, the home ownership rates has increased since the 50s and it's around 65%. The share of landlord ownership of housing keeps shrinking as they sell their properties to homeowners.
Why do none of you retards talk about this fact?

I worked incredibly hard for all the properties that were handed to me. I work so incredibly hard that I am beyond justified in raising the rent when I have made no improvements to the house. I should not be held accountable for what those "people" do to the properties. If I so much as see a stain on the carpet (all my units were fully carpeted in 1977) then they will not get their security deposit back.

>>214286543
>There are infinite examples of landlords buying existing property
Not infinite.
There's still plenty of examples of them selling their property to a homeowner too.
>and there is zero reason government can't finance construction of new property,
What about the fact government is extremely inefficient in building new properties and the building costs end up being double what a private builder would have done.
Why can't we just use the japan south korea free market housing model?
It clearly works and keeps prices down.

>>214286564
Why do you retards support central banking, zoning and regulations and complain when housing becomes more expensive lol

>>214286546
I don't give a fuck. There would be buyers for real estate in major cities no matter how many restrictions you put on earnings, practically down to a 99,9% profit tax or single-home ownership restrictions. This shit would still be profitable, and we would see the exact same amount of construction. It's a place for people to live, not an investment for the Jews you bootlick to shylock people out of their earnings.

>>214286546
most people didn't do this real estate investment property shit until lifestyle and current affair shows promoted it as an effortless money making scheme for boomers in the 90's and 2000's

lol lmao even

> not an investment
"Investments" are what build places to live for people in the first place.

>to shylock people out of their earnings.
If you got rid of landlords and everyone had to buy, there would be a lot more homelessness and housing would be more expensive. There would be far less units build.
People would be forced to buy to live somewhere instead of just temporarily renting.

Also even now, it's cheaper to rent than to buy.
>>214286624
>effortless money making scheme for boomers
ONLY due to government intervention creating a housing bubble, but you people support those things(zoning, regulations and money printing)

>>214286640
>Citation needed.
This is hilarious. Look at government trying to build any building ever. They spent millions building a public bathroom in san fransicso.
Governments don't have an incentive to keep costs down and to be more efficient because they just get free money from taxpayers and it's not even their money.

>>214286668
>ONLY due to government intervention creating a housing bubble
no, you act as if you are the only greedy self-serving faggot out there
multiply yourself by a few tens of thousand boomers doing the same thing and there is your problem

How did the "blackrock is building up all of the housing to turn us all into rent slaves" meme get spread so much online and widely accepted when it's not even remotely true?
Companies like blackrock own like 0.1% of all housing in the country.

>>214286668
The only new units being built are absurdly overpriced, government could build cheap and affordable housing in the 60s and 70s when it wasn't just the extended legal arm of corporate banking.

This argument is retarded.

Why did the housing market crash in 2008 then? Why did housing prices fall for many years if boomers have a magic greed power to endlessly pump housing prices ignoring supply and demand?
>>214286737
>The only new units being built are absurdly overpriced,
Due to the government interventions I mentioned. That's the only way it can be profitable. The more units get built, the more prices come down.
We need an abundance of private housing like Japan and South Korea has.
>government could build cheap and affordable housing in the 60s and 70s
They built like less than 1% of the housing and it was subsidized by the taxpayer.
>extended legal arm of corporate banking.
Why do you people not realize the policies you support(central banking, fractional reserve banking) are the reason these firms are so powerful?

>>214286776

I don't know where you live, but it's not like that in Australia. People are fucking desperate to get in anywhere. I've landlorded a townhouse starting in 2021 for 400 a week which was tenanted quickly. I've been steadily increasing it by about 15% per year (is up to 640 / week in 2025 lease) and the tenants haven't complained yet

If they ever moved out I'd have it filled again in less than a month.

>>214286823
Would you ever voluntarily take a paycut for no benefit? No? Then why would you expect anyone else to?

Landlords aren't as bad as the Real Estate agents they employ

>Housing should never have been an "asset" to begin with
Nta but I tend to agree, atleast with single family homes. But the government has done so much to make it happen that way. The fed buying up mortgage backed securities, the government imposing requirements for sub prime borrowers, the response to the 2008 crash ie gibs for everyone. The government propped up this shit just as hard as when the stock market dropped during the depression, it was bound to happen. It's a shame because real estate, especially American real estate was genuinely one of the safest investments out there. Now it's shitcoin tier.
