    Absolutely ridiculous. That’s like saying we shouldn’t free elderly people’s slaves because they need them to care for them. The elderly man isn’t going to be “thrown into the streets” because he already has a home. Again, you have no basis to assume that this is his only source of income or that he doesn’t have sufficient savings. He at the very least has family, like the person who made this post.

    And what about the tenant? For all we know they could be elderly and disabled too, only they weren’t rich enough to “plan for retirement” by setting up a situation where they can steal rent from someone else. They could be saddled with medical debt, they could be a single mother trying to support a family, if you get to speculate about the landlord’s situation then I get to speculate about the tenant’s.

    Completely bizarre pro-landlord takes on Hexbear, can’t believe what I’m seeing. It’s not the tenant’s responsibility.
