        Don’t let it bother you, most of the people here are incredibly entitled and think everything should be free and donated to them for no effort in exchange. This isn’t to say that I agree with landlords gouging people- property should be fairly valued, but I will say that their arguments defending their entitlement show a complete lack of understanding the definition of the word “nuance.”

      The only thing they’re really doing wrong is gaslighting people by calling them a “roommate.”

      Otherwise it’s just people surviving under capitalism. OP didn’t capture the rental market, that was done by much, much bigger fish.

        Not really… They’re just being nicer to a friend than another landlord would be. It’s not like the friend is buying equity in their house.

        This makes OP a better landlord than most. It also demonstrates how the system is rigged to benefit property owners over others.
