Yeah. I think there is a pretty big difference in the dynamic between a person who owns and directly manages rental properties and a corporate land lord that exists purely to extract as much money as possible from a tenant.
Ya, I don't love the mom and pop landlords who own a few rental properties as a way to actually retire at a reasonable age. They aren't the same as fucking blackrock and the other corporate landlords who grew at exponential rates after the 08 collapse and have worked so hard to make housing unaffordable. At least the small guys seem to give a shit about their property even if they're scumbags. So if there's a water leak, mold etc they're probably more interested in fixing it so it doesn't get worse.
