Execute his will’s provisions now while he’s still alive and live off the state and any remaining Social Security checks. US policy only really gives help when you’ve finally ran out of money…
I would not want to live off of United States social security if I had severe short term memory loss
The alternative for the market is just someone else probably renting the building out anyway. Would rather have a disabled old man as a landlord than some corporate slime
Yes, but are they fucking them in some crazy way, or is this old man just doing what is often done by people are capable of it?
With severe short term memory loss, I would say this is a fringe case where landlording is fair enough.
Maybe he did it back when landlording wasn’t his only means of income - I don’t know. It doesn’t matter to me because he probably wasnt educated about why landlording is exploitative. It’s sadly a normal thing to do, and sort of a natural reaction to alienation from normal labour for many people who again, are totally uneducated on the topic and inundated in capitalist realism. The chances are, elderly man was and is just some guy. Now he’s some guy with no alternative means of income possible. Not inherently evil, and in my eyes deserving of compassion. It doesn’t sound like he owns a whole raft of properties.
Does something immoral become moral because a disabled person is doing it? Wouldn’t tricking an able bodied/minded landlord into giving up their property be good? Or do you think we have to just be better than our enemies at all moments?

The weird thing about morality is that depending on the circumstances, the same action can become more or less justified.
An able-bodied landlord, at worst, would still be able to get a job like the rest of us. This man is entirely dependent on the income the property provides and has no way to augment his income at this point. The stock market is also unethical, would you feel the same if his 401k got signed over to someone? The answer is the dissolution of these predatory means of ownership while ensuring a good standard of living for everyone. Not taking an disabled, eldery man’s main source of income for your personal gain.
The tenant is not some hero of the working class fighting against the landlords. They’re most likely some shithead swindler who would have stolen someone’s primary residence if they thought they could get away with it.
Why are we believing the best in the landlord’s kid and the worst in the tenet? If we are believing someone is acting in bad faith, why chose the exploited and not the exploiter?

Perhaps, but what happens when he passes away?
ghoul son takes over sure but I still think it’s bad to con a disabled person out of their only viable income…
Here it is disabled old man as landlord, or owning the goddamn house yourself though.
through conning a disabled man

Slaves using their elderly slaver’s dementia to their advantage is bad if slavery is normal in that society, I guess
clearly not the same thing

All Landlords are Bad. I don’t make the rules, sorry
