    Because landlord isn’t a job, and many don’t go through the effort of even pretending it is.

    If they’re a landlord that also does carpentry jobs on a house, that’s what they are. The landlord part isn’t a job.
    If they just collect rent and occasionally pay contractors, they’re just as unemployed as a welfare collector that occasionally pays for a therapist or prostitute.

    They’re absolutely not self-employed.

    They’re just holding housing hostage for ransom.
