Are holiday let owners viewed as unethical as landlords?

>Landlords provide housing for those who are unable to buy, and holiday lets are just that a place to go on holiday. > >As we going to demonise hotels next? You have it totally backwards, and this is exactly why people have issues with landlords. The basic necessities for human life are as follows: 1) Water 2) Food 3) Shelter. However landlords treat as a product. You might then argue "But water is a product! So is food!" but our society is set up in a way that means even people at the bottom end of society should be able to access clean drinking water and basic food supplies for a low price on a low salary. That is not the case with housing. What landlords are now doing is collectively raising the price in line with "market rate" because renters literally have no other option than to succumb to it. Their % relative to income is increasing every single year, far outpacing mortgage rates, and slowly dissolving the middle class, and creating an even large poor/wealth divide. It used to be that when landlords rented homes, the value was stored in the asset, creating a nice egg nest for retirement, and so on. Now what we're seeing is that baseline change. I see landlords constantly refer to how much little profit they're making compared to before, but it should never have been that in the first place. They fail to forget or mention that over a lifetime, even if on top of general repairs they only break even, in the long term they still come out to a nice chunk of cash regardless. In addition to that, like company shareholders, they compare profit month on month, year on year. They totally forget that 10 years ago they might have been making say £200 a month once the mortgage payments were made, and are "only making £500 a month when most other landlords in the area are making £600 a month 😢" and see themselves as getting less then what they should be, when they are considerably better off than the people around them. Some landlords upgraded their home and now rent out a single property. Some of them just ask that the mortgage payments are paid off and take a little more to cover the upkeep of the property and some of their time, knowing that the have an appreciating asset at the end of the day. All of that is fine. But more often than not, it isn't the case. Landlord greed IMO is the number one source of our countries issues.
