Owning a second home should be illegal.
Private landlords are not as bad. If everyone had only one house there'd be nowhere to rent unless you only want to rent the room.
Now corporate landlords. They own so much real estate it's practically a monopoly. And as a business they're profit driven and exploit their tenants. I think renting wasn't so bad before companies started investing in real estate.
This is the real problem! Companies that own many many homes/ apartments are disgusting to deal with - everything is profit driven. Lost my mom recently and her house is transferring to me through the court so every day i get a dozen calls from investors, -" I'm sorry for your loss; can i buy your house? AAA Property Mgmt."
