Yeah, that's pretty shitty.
My point wasn't that there are no terrible landlords, just that this popular concept that being a landlord is inherently wrong is misguided.
I only had a couple landlords in my life, and both were good experiences. One was the parents of a friend, and they just asked me to make an effort to do low-cost or low-effort repairs myself (e.g., a dripping faucet) rather than call them, and in return they made our rent much less than it should have been. The other was an apartment, and the lady managing the property liked me and hardly ever raised my rent. She said she never had to deal with issues from me, and wanted me to stay as long as possible.
Maybe that's why I don't have the visceral hate so many seem to.
I think people are mostly using the term landlord to refer to rental companies. I make a point to try to rent from landlords usually a much better deal and don't mind you doing minor improvements to the place. Sucks when they sell to a company though. The companies are also responsible for over building condos at the expense of cheaper apartments and small family homes.
