I wonder if his landlord ever considered not renewing his lease due to his political stance vis-a-vis landlords.

No, because, and I say this as a landlord myself, landlords care about paying the mortgage more than the principle of being allowed to own property to rent. Most landlords can’t afford for it not to be rented out. Turning down a good tenant due to their political beliefs would be foolish. And mean.

Yes, Lemmy is very well aware that tenants pay the mortgage for landlords.

Subsidised by tax breaks, no less. Yes, it’s a bad system.

I assumed it would also be illegal discrimination, but I have no evidence.

Admitting to being a landlord on Lemmy? Brave. Very brave.

Rental vacancy rate has never been lower. Landlords have zero problems finding renters if the price is not stupid. Yet. Which it will become as investments dry up and continue forcing prices beyond the reach of some investors.
