You did it right, but the only thing keeping most people honest is regulation. Until pro-tenant behavior is properly incentivized for landlords, most will remain shitty and selfish.
Most ? Where is your statistics? What kind of bullshit statement is this.
-gestures broadly at the history of the entire human species-
I’m not a misanthrope, but humans haven’t exactly earned a gold star for behavior.
My statistic would be the totality of humanity acting like shit whenever they're not forced otherwise
There are laws around renting. It's not a free for all, at least, not where I come from. There are cases where humanity acts with generosity. This argument works both side and it's unproductive.
You're right, the housing market is currently full of generosity. Thanks for the input here
Exactly ;)
When the system incentivizes greed, then there will always be a sway toward the profit motive.
