Ok, but how do we handle this until we completely remake the world in precisely the way that lucian1900 thinks it should be?

I’m just pointing out that landlords are exploiting tenants and other arrangements are possible and have existed.

Building social housing, removing incentives for buy-to-rent, taxing second homes and capping rents to a fraction of minimum wage are all measures that can be introduced gradually on the way to de-commodifying housing.
