    You did it right, but the only thing keeping most people honest is regulation. Until pro-tenant behavior is properly incentivized for landlords, most will remain shitty and selfish.

        -gestures broadly at the history of the entire human species-

        I’m not a misanthrope, but humans haven’t exactly earned a gold star for behavior.

        My statistic would be the totality of humanity acting like shit whenever they’re not forced otherwise

          There are laws around renting. It’s not a free for all, at least, not where I come from. There are cases where humanity acts with generosity. This argument works both side and it’s unproductive.

        When the system incentivizes greed, then there will always be a sway toward the profit motive.
