If you have multiple properties you hire someone to do that work. 'Landlords' include property companies that own hundreds of units, which is the majority of ownership in the US. Do you think the owners of these companies are doing maintenance and dealing with tenants? The executives are in effect the landlords, and all the work they do is figure out how to make more money off of their company's investments, aka figure out how to better extract income from tenants.
What does it mean to be a landlord then? Are you saying the properties owned by these companies have no landlord? I don't doubt it's a tough job to run a company, I still don't think that justifies the amount of our profits we give up to ensure we have shelter.
