I'll throw you a bone. Let's assume that is true that all landlords are filthy rich and that they bought millions of dollars worth of property out of pocket and they'll be perfectly fine if nobody pays rent. That's not remotely true; but, let's assume that it is for a moment before reality goes for your throat.
Even if that were true, it's a weird set of ethics that drives you to the conclusion that somebody not only should but must allow you to stay on his or her property without demanding anything in return.
If people are willing to cross into the real world for a moment we can address that landlords generally aren't swimming in money.
They're generally smart with money - smarter than I've been, and they've made investments in property. Namely, they're still paying a mortgage on the property or properties that they own and renters are contributing to the money being spent on the mortgage or mortgages.
Landlords aren't Bezos or Musk. They're generally middle class people.
Landlords also take on incredible responsibilities. Just the last few weeks of seeing what my folks had to go through as a result of a broken toilet valve have made me question whether or not I ever want to own a house.
I've rented houses and apartments. Whenever anything broke down, that was on the landlord. If you're the owner, everything that breaks down is on you.
In general, support for not letting landlords evict renters, which has become dangerously popular, is to say that generally middle class people who are still paying mortgages and for upkeep of their properties should just have to suck it up when a renter, possibly also middle class, decides not to pay to live on the landlord's property.
The eviction moratorium is based on a perverse and pervasive lie.
