Why did we give Hannibal Burress a pass on being a slumlord?

Lol. I remember when I listened to the Handsome Rambler podcast and he was talking about this like 2 years ago. As far as rich folks buying property goes he sounded pretty chill about it. Let the people live there rent free for for a few months before he converted their units into Airbnbs.
I haven't been keeping up. Are the Bernie Bros mad?

Please elucidate as to why it shouldn't be legal for people to do what they please with the properties they own.
I care less about his Landlord tactics and more about how many people (including a friend) have had very creepy encounters with him.
Please. See it all the time here. People linking random twitter accounts as "news"
Fucking exactly.
Take note literally everybody reading this thread. This shit is happening more and more on ERA these days. It's gotta Fkn stop.
Because if you can turn a property into an AirBnB, you can rent it out instead, and someone can actually live there.
Yes. This wasn't even a thing until he dared question His Holy Whiteness, The High Sparrow Saint Bernie of Vermont.
Lemme do the math here, so like if 70% of millenials would vote for a socialist, and 30% would vote for a communist, then that's like 100%!!! time to start the revolution with slumlord Hannibal
If you actually listen to him talk about it, he's worried that his career might be transitory and wants a more stable source of income if it doesn't work out
Ok I'll play along. What's morally wrong with what he did? Do you believe that a homeowner that rents out his home is morally obligated to do so in perpetuity? What if he needs to sell the house? What then?

Renting out your property is basically just slavery with extra steps.
Kicking people out (don't care if the lease was up) just so you can make more money is bullshit and it's contributing to the housing crisis. Fuck landlords.
Please. I really hate when threads are literally started with just twitter posts. Lazy and more often than not false information.
Please lock this terrible fucking thread. "Slumlord" the fuck outta here.
You own the property, you can do what you want with it. It's not like he raised the rent 200% and evicted them. He gave them two months free rent while they sort their shit out. Two months rent is typical for a deposit while renting so I have to assume that was his motivating factor.
People with money have awful politics. Nothing new.
All your faves are doing horrible things with their money.

play along by reading my post again i specifically wrote the first few words because i didn't want to get into an argument about the morality of what he did. laws aren't morality so in an argument about morality, saying something was legal means nothing.

All landlords belong in guillotines
Saw the topic, read the op, listened to the podcast and came back to tell the op they're barking up the wrong tree. Wtf dude?
It's caused major housing shortages and abuses by landlords against current tenets in order to force them out to transition to more profitable short-term AirBnB renting and because the law literally exists to place limits on behavior including how properties are rented? Did that answer your question?
sorry, kicking families out to achieve the penultimate orgasm known as market rent is the right thing to do.
Ok cool, so you're just playing devil's advocate for the fuck of it and don't have anything to contribute. BTW, I never said it was good or bad. It just...is.
Can't speak for the person you are responding to, but I was thinking the issue was turning it into an AirBnB in particular.
Well, yes it is. You can go month to month without a lease and the landlord can choose to evict.
You're trying to hard, the person you quoted was literally only pointing out that the legality of the action isn't what was being litigated.
