    They can be for profit.

    But limited, a landlord has 1-2 apartments, not 50, and corporations are right out, as are foreign owners.

    Housing needs to be about housing, healthcare needs to focus on healthcare.

      I care less about the number of units the landord has(within reason) than where they live. If a guy wants to rent a dozen units a few blocks from his own house, fine. But some asshole 5 states away renting a house he’s never going to lay eyes on? Fuck off.

        Some of the worst landlords in my city are locals who rent out 1-2 houses to students.

        The least bad landlord AFAICT is a local corporation that mostly rents out commercial space but has a few residential rentals too.
