See, when the Landlord charges reasonable rates, and actually provides services in exchange for that rent (helping update appliances to newer, having paperwork on hand for any code/inspections needed for property changes (that the landlord would ultimately benefit from,) and in general treating it as a matter of 'I have obligations' instead of 'I will do nothing but I will absolutely blame the tennants for the inevetable crumbling of the property.'
I dislike the concept at base level, but that is a someone who is trying to not be a scumbag.
The renting part isn't even that bad, the owning part and selling for profit is the problem.
