Guys, at this rate I don't think the revolution's going to happen anytime soon.

I'm not sure what you're saying.

If landlords can assume every tenant they'll ever see has 2,000 plus their income, then they can just set rent to be 2,000 plus the average income of the area (or whatever it is they do currently). That's what I'm worried about.

Like, I'm worried about inter-landlord collusion that happens not because they're talking to each other but because they can all assume the same facts about you.

I mean, truthfully, I think landlords should be cut out of the game anyway, but that's a wholly separate issue.
