Nah that's stupid. Why do you presume to know that there will "always" be a need for landlords? People thought there would always be kings until democracy developed, people thought there would always be nobility until capitalism emerged and rendered the land-based social relationships that defined feudal nobility meaningless. You lack imagination.

    Ok, in our life times we will always need landlords. I know future generations could have a different setup. We can’t product the future. Maybe AI will lead to government built housing and UBI. We don’t know.

    Are you 80? I absolutely plan on living past the end of (at least most) landlordism.

    I think you don’t realize how slow it will be to get to that point. I am a land lord, what’s the government going to do, take my land and property?

    Individual landlords would not be a priority for me, I would start by prohibiting LLCs from owning residential property, convert existing apartment complexes into residential co-ops/condos, and force existing corporate landlords to sell their properties to individual buyers at a cost determined by the state.

    For individual landlords, I'd just prohibit them from acquiring new properties they don't live in themselves, and make it illegal to transfer ownership of a rental property to anyone else unless they intend to live in it (eg via inheritance, sale, etc.).
