Landlords have much more power. Usually more money too, but always more power.

Source: I am a landlord and I could temporarily destroy either of my roommates' livelihoods at the drop of a dime whenever I please.

The difference between me and others in my position is I understand these are material relationships more than social relationships, and the only way to change that is not being the landlord.

When Marxists want to get rid of landlords, this is what they mean. They simply want more social relationships rather than material relationships. That's why it's called socialism.

Nitpick all you want, but what I said is exactly right and you probably know that.
