Landlords don't contribute to society

I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.

Why do you have an extra house when others don't even have 1?

I don't understand. What exactly is the complaint here? That they're over charging or charging at all?

Or is this just bandwagon hate on a common and ancient business practice?

Because there is nothing immoral or unethical about having multiple rental property.

And don't give me this shit about how they're evil for over charging. The middle class holds all the power all we're lacking is organization and education.

Wrong. Nobody should have extra houses to "rent out" while hardworking citizens can't afford a single house of their own.

The reason why we don't have enough is because they have too much.

Stop being a useful idiot. It's falling out of fashion.

They act like everyone could do this.

If everyone did this, the system would fail, because the profit here is scooped off the top with no actual production or service.

ITT: People that have no understanding of nuance, or parasitism versus symbiosis. Some people actually find ownership to be bothersome, some people prefer leasing cars instead of buying, some people have good landlords, some other have shitty landlords. But let the hyperbolic nonsense fly and let's nuke everyone and everything!
