Lol, as if there aren't countless companies that'll happily do it for you for a relatively low cut. Some even offer vacancy protection, as in you get money even if no-one is there (for a bigger cut ofc, the ones here want like 20% or something). And if even that is somehow too hard for the landlords busy schedule, ya can just sell the property for a small fortune and put the money into a savings account and never work again. A landlord doesn't need to do shit while gaining passive income, meanwhile tenants actively lose net-worth for the privilege of shelter, which is recognized as a human right by the way.

Projecting much? Why do you think I know about this shit? I have my own place and my mom is using one of those companies to rent the flat she got after grandma passed. I'ma probably sell at least one of em for moral reasons once I inherit it, but that's still some decades away.

Lol so you are what you hate. Got it. Inherited generational wealth as a landlord paying private companies profit off the backs of your tenants.

Troll gonna troll ey? Well I'm bored so I'ma bite.

Ya might wanna try visiting this thing called a primary school. They teach reading. My mom is renting out, and I plan to sell those additional properties once I inherit them. As you might guess, I and her don't quote see eye to eye.

So you have no problem benefiting from the generational wealth and profits on an issue you obviously care so much about.

I'm done with this as you are fully stupid. Sell those houses or not, you're a fucking hypocrite.

What am I supposed to do, burn them? As far I've checked no charity around me takes real-estate instead of money. If I refuse to inherit, it'll go to someone else in my family who'll just continue to rent. Tried looking up if I can give it to the state to provide as cheap housing, the only thing I found was unused government buildings for sale. So you tell me smartypants, I'd be delighted to be enlightened. But as long as you'll just continue to throw insults my way, you'll get the same back.
