Best would be if the company increased salaries, then their employees could invest themselves in stuff that actually benefit them, boosting the real economy.

higher salaries would be captured by landlords.

Only because there is under-supply of housing at the moment. If we built more houses then landlords wouldn't be able to charge higher rent just because people had more money.

To be clear, I think that we need to address both of these issues: general wealth distribution and lack of affordable housing.

A majority of the population's landlord is the bank that holds their mortgage, and they don't just raise your mortgage payment because your income increases.
