    I care less about the number of units the landord has(within reason) than where they live. If a guy wants to rent a dozen units a few blocks from his own house, fine. But some asshole 5 states away renting a house he’s never going to lay eyes on? Fuck off.

      Some of the worst landlords in my city are locals who rent out 1-2 houses to students.

      The least bad landlord AFAICT is a local corporation that mostly rents out commercial space but has a few residential rentals too.

        I’m not saying local landlords will necesarily be good landlords, I just want them within the jurisdiction they rent in. I want the people they know irl to know they’re assholes and slumlords. I want the local news to be able to stop by their house and ask them why they suck. I want the people who live in their rentals to take all that shit to the same local government they have to deal with for anything they want to do apart from runing rentals.
