Why are you so horny to paint a brush that all landlords are evil and "eat the rich"?
What I'm horny for is understanding that situations may be complex and idiots willing to espouse a novel are probably the ones that might have the issue lol
Edit - and it wasn't her house ya dillhole but of course that would involve actual willingness to understand the situation. She moved in prior to me buying the house.
Nobody here said all landlords are evil and eat the rich. They said landlording is parasitic and not a job. You're the one that got defensive about your teeny tiny edge case, presumably because you want to identify with the title of landlord without all the baggage, maybe you want to carve out room to be "one of the good ones", then lumped us all in with those other viewpoints. Regardless, whether or not everyone here agrees with those viewpoints and how they apply to your specific situation has very little bearing on how you're gonna continue to live your life or the larger conversation about landlording as a practice so like I'm just trying to find a point here other than rehabbing your self-image.
Also, she was living in it. It was not her property, she probably wouldn't have had to sell it if she was paying the mortgage herself instead of paying rent to a landlord to take a profit from before paying the mortgage, but it was and still is her home.
