Landlords do a lot! They own the house. They move your money from your account to their account. And once in a while, they spend some of your money on fixing the sink that you pay them to use.
Better than the neighbors from where I grew up turning their land into two big trailer parks.
It used to be a nice little place, just out of town right off the main road. We never even really had to lock our doors. Later on, shitheads from the trailer parks would break in, steal anything not nailed down, made the whole area crap.
One of the landlords had their house broken into when she was staying with her husband at the hospital for a couple days. Complained that the trailer park people don't pay and just hitch and leave if you try to force anything.
Still has the trailer park going strong over a year later.
People who use their property are distincly less of a blight on society than those that just own stuff.
And all it cost was everybody else's peace of mind, windows, and property.
