There is someone in this thread wanting to rent out a single room of a house since it's now unused as their oldest has moved out, and they are being told they would be better off selling the house and downsizing. But what if their oldest is out of a job one day and can't find a new one and is forced to move back? Too bad for them?

I do find it weird that all landlords are treated the same, like you said, large corporations renting out multiple buildings and doing the bare minimum are treated the same as an older person renting out a room just trying their best to provide a space for someone to stay.

Exactly. Just because someone rents a second home, doesn't mean they're shitty landlords. Turning it into a business and main income is where I draw the line.
