Landlords do not provide housing - eviltoast

ID: A Sophie Labelle 4 panel comic featuring Stephie in different poses, saying:

Landlords do not provide housing.

They buy and Hold more space than they need for themselves.

Then, they create a false scarcity and profit off of it.

What they’re doing is literally the opposite of providing housing.

    If the landlord doesn’t fix things you stop paying rent. At least in countries with strong regulations (Mietminderung in Germany).

      They’ll probably start eviction proceedings if you stop paying rent. They may also do other unpleasant things to make the apartment unlivable.

      In the US the law is generally not cheap and not on the side of the poor.
