Petty landlords are the vast majority, unfortunately. All they care about is extracting rent. They don't see tenants as human beings who can struggle, but rather as a source of income to exploit and ignore as much as they can.

yeah i lived in one that got in trouble (after i had moved out) for not telling their tenants about the lead paint or asbestos. they also had the elevator out of order for nearly two years during which period they raised the rent three times. have fun moving out of a fifth floor apartment when you have to carry furniture down the narrow stairs with four right angle turns every floor.

Are you sure that wasn't just the backdrop of the Big Bang Theory?

yes quiet. It sucked, especially because we had a baby at the time and trying to carry groceries and a child up those stairs to a unairconditioned apartment mid summer was not something deserving of a laugh track.

I am sorry to have made a comedy reference at your expense.

I hope you are dealing with less stress these days!

The reverse can also be true, tenants don’t care about landlords.

That’s not equivalent in any reasonable way. Tenants can’t put a landlord on the street.

Tenants can definitely bankrupt a landlord.

This isn’t how power, unjust hierarchies, surplus value, or capitalism in general works.

Tenants don't have to be thinking about any of those things to maliciously destroy a property. None of them come into play when you have, for example, a tenant who hasn't paid rent in months, or who runs illegal businesses out of the property, etc.

Nothing you said makes a difference. I’m unsure why it matters what the tenant is thinking? I don’t think it matters.
