Seriously. I rent out two apartments and people act like I’m a slumlord.
You are a middleman who provides no value. The difference between the people paying you and yourself is one earns their daily bread while you rest on the work of the past. It is enough that you are getting money, don't expect us to like you just because you can legally do your "work" slightly worse.
The value I provide is taking over the risks and responsibilities of owning the apartment. Not everybody is willing or able to take out a loan of that size. The tenant maintains their flexibility of moving wherever they want or need to at relatively short notice. If there’s problems with the apartment I must figure it out, not them. It’s not my job by the way. The rent my tenants pay covers the bills I get for owning the apartment. I‘m employed somewhere else. What is your idea of doing it differently? Must housing be just free for everyone? Or everybody must just buy? I’m generally curious!
Whatever you tell yourself at night.
