Private property abuses the rights of personal property. It's my home, yet someone else "owns" it.
Landlords barely contribute maintenance when required. Might as well hire a handy person to be intermediary to any professionals 🤷
Landlords serve a purpose, I know lots of people that don’t want to own the home, they want others to do maintenance, pay property taxes and insurance. I’m a landlord, I put a 100k into the property before I rented it and it’s a beautiful home and have had multiple families enjoy it while living there. Current person couldn’t find a place that would allow dogs, I was happy to take her in considering last tenant allowed their kids to draw on the walls. I’ll take the dog.
