Shouldn't be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

Better yet, don't allow corporations to own residential properties at all. Only allow individuals to own two residential properties. Make renting residential property a crime like human trafficking, because that's what it is. Let hedge funds speculate on commercial and industrial real estate. #RentIsTheft

Who would build multi unit housing?

eh if I took up travel nursing I'd probably still want something similar to a house or apartment to rent for 3-6 months because most hotels aren't really designed to be lived in that long but I also don't want to buy a wholeass house then worry about selling it in 6 months. but that's splitting hairs, at what point do you just call that an extended stay hotel? but also at what point does an extended stay hotel become a rental property?

but every time I hear a "property owner" complain about how hard and expensive it is to own other people's homes I'm just like my guy no one is making you do that if it's so damn hard just sell it to the person who lives there except deep down you realize how good of a deal you're getting you're just mad everybody isn't acting like you're not a prick for it.
