ALAB. All Landlords Are Bastards.

Yes, even the nice ones.

Yes, even you.

The whole system of owning someone else's home and extracting profit from them is both inherently exploitive and forces them into being a bastard. "You don't pay rent, you're gone. We can find any possible reason to confiscate your security deposit, we do. Anyone without a squeaky clean rental history and who can't afford 2-3 months rent up front never gets keys.

Yes, I get that tenants can be terrible and destructive too. Yes I know that home ownership isn't for everyone. But even still, making "passive" profits doing nothing more than owning property means you're participating in a system that makes you a bastard.
