I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

Yall disappoint me.
Landlord is an occupation? Not familiar with any labor they do
Do you have any idea how hard it is to sit on your ass until the end of the month and then carry all those checks to the bank and sign them all? Think of the poor landlords and their signing hands! 😢
It did use to be when rent was low and tenants had stronger rights. When things broke, you'd have to fix it yourself or hire someone to do it. When a tenant was making everyone else in the building feel unsafe it was up to you to drag them out.
When rent went up and tenants rights were thrown out of the window, it became easy street. You hire someone to take care of it all, and sip your coffee in the morning.
It genuinely used to be a high risk, low reward venture. The shortage of housing skyrocketed it into an occupation for rich dullards to sit on their ass all day.
Landlord isn't an occupation, any more than 'white collar criminal'
There's another comment that mentioned a landlord that was published exactly 30 seconds before yours. :P
(Please keep in mind that I'm just teasing you. Obviously, there's no way you could have known.)
I'm staying in a city temporarily for about 6 months, whers would I live if I couldn't rent?
Hotels used to be the standard temporary housing.
The lack of a land lord does not mean the house disappeared off the planet.
Yes but I'm not going to buy a house for 6 months just to sell it, it's not very feasible.
The lack of a landlord also does not prevent you from temporarily using open housing either.
Wdym?
Imagine a world where housing was given on a per-need basis. People still need to travel for work and stay for months at a time, except it's understood that the job getting done is more important than a landlord profiting off the fact you have to travel for it.
Who maintains such supply of houses, who pays for it, who would own it, who would carry out repair works as and when they are needed.
Landlords do not build housing, nor do they do repair work. So I'm gonna say the scarry trigger word for all you libertarians out there to gasp at. Gubberment.
