Then why share it?

I assure you the math has been done

It’'s really not all about raw profit, it’s also about risk assessment. There is always a risk of significant damage to the property which would cost more to repair than it brought from rent. There’s also a risk of not being able to evict the non-paying tenant, which basically locks you out of your property for years.

We all hate landlords, I hate them with burning passion, but we gotta be honest here - the tenant is a hardcore-tier client type.

Which is why people want the return of authocracy, where the self serving bastards no longer have to even try.

The 1% needs to hang, that’s the only way to ensure the wellbeing of a common man.

It really depends on situation.

Rentiers that possess tens, hundreds or even thousands of estate absolutely do rent some of them, but they still keep some (if not most) of them empty. By keeping the market unsaturated, they keep their rent high. If they just let out all their estates, prices would go lower due to lesser demand. They are not penalized for abusing the market, instead they are actually being rewarded by the fact that their unrented properties’ value is constantly increasing due to appreciation.

There are also minor landlords that have some additional rentable estate, but they often choose not to be bothered, and they just sit on it for years until their offspring grows up and decide to live there. Or they just sell it in the meantime and get lots of profit for nothing.

• inflating prices by limiting the supply, you don’t even need to rent your real estate, you get insane gains just via appreciation
• radically pro-tenant laws are primarily rewarding unlawful tenats by making them impossible to evict even for extreme negligence, which discourages landlords from offering their unused properties
• no laws to force landlords to rent their unused properties or discourage from purchasing additional estate just to hold them as assets

I don’t know how’s the market situation in France right now, but in Poland we have a surplus of housing over populace needs, yet housing crisis here is still almost inhumane.

It’s not because we don’t have space to fit our people. No, it’s not that we’re picky either. It’s because this space is not being used at all, because landlords find it often more profitable this way.

Isn’t she disqualified from the next presidential race due to corruption trial?

It’s a shame we don’t have the UK in the EU anymore, hope we’ll have them back eventually
