      Being a landlord is a job. There’s no exploitation with renting out properties. People expect to get paid for their job. This is an extremely simple concept. I can’t fathom why you’re not understanding. Maybe I need to make it even simpler?

      • Landlord = self employed
      • Self employed = Charges for services rendered
      • Rent = Payment in exchange for services

      renting prices are effectively almost exclusively profits for the owner of the rented space

      This isn’t even true either.

          Because society agrees it is.

          Because we’re using very basic factual definitions.

          Job = performing work

          explain the logical holes in your ideas

          There are no logical holes in my ideas. I’m explaining basic facts.

      This is simply because renting prices are effectively almost exclusively profits for the owner of the rented space.

      I don’t think that’s true in all cases. If you think about the price of properties and know how much a credit costs. Properties in cities easily cost a million dollars so with 3% interest that’s 30 000$ a year you have to get just to pay interest on your loan.
