This is not true at all. Good landlords also take care of the property, providing what is functionally a “home as a service” with none of the hassle of maintaining it.
There are bad landlords. Most rentals are owned by them. There are precious few that are not.
Part of this service is covering the risk of unforseen cost. Heating breaks? That may become expensive. You pay a monthly fee and don’t have to manage risk and cost like that. Many people would be ruined if they had to cover that and repair becomes necessary, or face worsening condition.
As someone who owns my home (a moderately small 2-bedroom condo), I have tens of thousands of dollars worth of work to do to it that I really don’t want to do. Nobody is going to do it for me.
Sometimes I wish I was renting ngl, but rent would be even higher than my mortgage for the same sized place.
