“But don’t landlords deserve to be compensated for their labor, too?”

WHAT labor? I see my landlord once a month, when I have to fork over rent. My landlord is not a member of our community. My landlord is not involved in the maintenance of the property beyond commanding someone else to repair broken appliances or cut the grass, and usually my landlord doesn’t even do that–one of the office assistants sends out those orders. 

All my landlord does is sit in the office and send minions after impoverished tenants who live in fear of the streets and are about one to two paychecks away from being homeless.

Landlords. Are not. Workers.

The bootlickers found this post so let me once again state for the record that landlords are leeches and scum, and if YOU are a landlord, I hope you get ripped apart limb from limb by the people you exploit.

I really don’t care if your personal landlord is good to you, I care that landlords as a class of people have significant power over people living in abject poverty.

Landlords should not exist in the first place.

Housing should not be controlled by people able and willing to cast vulnerable people out into the streets.

Landlords are not my fellow worker. Landlords are not my comrades. Landlords should not exist in the first goddamn place.
