GPU/ticket scalpers take on a risk too. But we don't give a shit about them getting fucked by the risk, neither should we give a shit about landlords getting fucked. They're no different than scalpers.
But what's worse is, usually they never take on risk to begin with. Insurance companies take on the risk of actual damage. Banks take on some of the risk from the mortgage.
And usually, these landlords are operating under LLCs of some variety. So even if things went belly up, the fat cats get golden parachutes and the maintenance people get fucked.
Landlords are a scurge, and need to be ended as a social class.
